Find out more about Apps for Good

Apps for Good have been continually adapting our content to the ever-changing education landscape for teachers and young people in the UK.

Apps for Good courses teach students about new technologies while equipping them with the problem solving, creativity and teamwork skills needed to thrive. We know that accessing IT equipment can be a challenge right now, and that's why we have released "unplugged" versions of some of our regular courses where all work can take place on paper!

After a course, students show an increase in technical and non-technical skills such as: confidence, product design, teamworking, public speaking, presenting and problem solving.
