Creative Regeneration is an Inverclyde-based charity focused on community renewal and empowerment through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) learning. Operating with the core vision of turning Inverclyde into a creative and digital powerhouse, the organisation delivers inclusive community-led workshops, youth programmes, and digital access initiatives.
Digital Xtra is pleased to be working with Creative Regeneration to deliver a Code Xtra Community Coding & AI hub for several reasons:
Established STEAM & Maker Infrastructure: Creative Regeneration already delivered several hands-on digital tech and fabrication activities (such as LEGO Engineering, Makedo, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, & more), and possess the practical foundation and equipment needed for technical learning.
Community-Led & Inclusive Reach: The charity actively targets underrepresented groups and local youth across Inverclyde, aligning directly with Digital Xtra's core mission to democratize digital tech and AI skills in historically underserved communities.
Cross-Sector Collaboration: Their governance and networks bring together educators, industry leaders, and local digital initiatives (such as the Inverclyde Digital Bridge CIC), creating a supportive ecosystem for training both young learners and community educators.
Heritage & Innovation Synergy: By bridging Inverclyde's rich industrial heritage with modern digital tools, they inspire participants to become creators and innovators with technology rather than passive consumers.
