What We Deliver

Two programmes, one partnership

Most partners run both side by side: the young people in one room, the adults in the next.

Young People

Ages 5–18

The same hands-on curriculum we run in schools, adapted for mixed ages, mixed languages and a two-hour weekend slot.

  • Scratch and block-based coding
  • Micro:bit and physical computing
  • Game design and digital making
  • Online safety and digital citizenship
  • An introduction to AI

Adults

Parents, jobseekers, newcomers

Practical, confidence-building sessions aimed squarely at getting people into work and able to deal with Irish systems.

  • Computer basics and file management
  • Word, PowerPoint and Excel
  • CV writing and cover letters
  • Job applications and interview practice
  • Email, online safety and public services online
How It Works

From first call to final report

01

Scope

We meet your community team, understand the cohort, the venue and the budget line it sits under.

02

Design

We build the programme around that cohort: pitch, language level, session length and pace.

03

Deliver

Vetted mentors arrive with every laptop, board and worksheet. Evenings and weekends included.

04

Report

Attendance, progression and participant feedback, written up so it drops straight into your own funding reports.

Due Diligence

Built for public-sector delivery

Everything a community officer needs to sign off is in one place, so talk to us and we'll walk you through it.
