High-quality, accessible experiences that build real skills

We build real creative and digital capability in young people — and the confidence and curiosity to use it. Our programmes and projects have spanned coding and physical computing, robotics, animation, filmmaking, music technology and AI and generative tools, always hands-on, so young people finish with something they've made, and a sense of what they're capable of.

Not all the best learning happens in a lesson. We run clubs, holiday programmes, events and careers-focused experiences that widen horizons — giving young people room to be curious, meet people doing creative and technical work, and see routes into industries that might otherwise feel closed to them. These settings are where confidence and aspiration often grow fastest.

Some of our most valuable work is with the adults around young people. We design and deliver professional development, create teaching resources, and lead courses and CPD — online and in person — that help educators build confidence with creativity, digital technology and inclusive practice.

Francesca's wider career includes developing programmes for educators, producing conferences, convening cultural education alliances and consortia, and working with music education hubs. Together we've developed creative-computing CPD with partners including Trinity College London. The aim is always practical: something a teacher can use on Monday morning.

We don't just work with young people — we bring them through. Alongside our programmes runs a strand of mentoring and progression: we support young people into their first paid assistant roles and meaningful volunteering, giving them real experience, guidance and a route into the creative and digital sector. It's how we practise the equity we talk about — opening doors, building confidence and paid experience, and growing the next generation of practitioners as we go.

Some of our most valuable work happens before delivery starts. We design and produce creative learning programmes, and we broker the partnerships that make them possible — connecting schools with cultural institutions, funders and specialists. We also help other organisations build their own capacity, strengthening partnerships, capability and networks across the sector. It's the difference between a one-off activity and something that lasts.
