The Prince’s Trust and Artronix

The “Achieve Digital” project supports 180 young people aged 13-16 to gain vital digital skills whilst encouraging them to consider a career in the IT industry.

Developed by the Prince’s Trust and Artronix, a series of digital industry skills activity days for “at risk” pupils aged 13 – 16 years who for a number of reasons cannot ordinarily access this type of activity.

The key elements of the project are: Digital Skills Days, Digital Work Experience with 25% of young people being placed into digital work experience and progression to positive digital outcomes for example taking computing science subjects in further education.

Over the Digital Skills day young people experiment and learn to build electronic Neuro Muscle, utilise electronic signal detecting DIT kit, and engage in coding and basic game design.
