High-quality, accessible experiences that build real skills

We build creative and digital capability, and the curiosity to use it. Our programmes have spanned coding and physical computing, robotics, animation, filmmaking, music technology, 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. Our clubs, holiday programmes and careers experiences give young people room to be curious, to meet people doing creative and technical work for a living, and to see routes into industries that can feel closed to them. It's often where confidence grows 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: first paid assistant roles, meaningful volunteering, guidance, and a route into the creative and digital sector. It's how we practise the equity we talk about.

Much of our 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 and networks. It's the difference between a one-off activity and something that lasts.
