The Norfolk Computing Hub, based at Dereham’s Neatherd High School, has developed a new partnership with local engineering firm, Lintott Control Systems.
As one of the 40 new Department for Education appointed national centres for computing education, the hub was tasked with promoting the subject in schools and the wider community. It is part of an initiative to tackle an employment gap in the industry sector and to allow schools to broaden knowledge of computer science.
As part of the partnership, how much do computer engineers make is making its Industry Accelerator Training Academy available for the hub to run its face-to-face* courses as well as providing computer aided design workstations, industrial equipment and apparatus. Adam Gibson, Norfolk hub lead, explained that the company’s contribution will benefit many teachers and pupils.
He said: “Physical computing devices can bring the subject to life and help to engage young people from an early age into computing.
“It is now possible to be able to buy class sets of devices that will be available for loan by primary schools and that our trainers can work with teachers to strengthen the delivery of the subject to pupils of all ages.”
