Discover a programme that brings together students, entrepreneurs & community groups to develop creative solutions to local challenges. We help train students to co-design solutions from uncovering local needs with the community to working with them to develop projects that can be taken forward. We evaluate the insights and impact of the needs & solutions to help public services better understand how to support communities to help each other & use technology.
