North Glasgow Innovation Strive – Free Homework Help Classes

Our project introduced the young people and women to opportunities in civic engagement, work experience, internship and graduate programmes, work with colleges and universities linking into areas such as environmental management and climate change. We worked also with organisations to support entrepreneurship through participatory budgeting. We have given ‘hands on’ support to the young people/women and their families by providing opportunities for them to be engaged at a community level.

Jambo! Radio

Jambo!Radio programme will provide standard broadcast production training in video and audio recording and editing, on-air script writing and researching, interviewing, and producing content for broadcast and social media to individual and in a cohort.

Website Design

Digital, website, design and training for young people and unemployed adults in partnership with Inspire Digital Agency. The basic web course that would be delivered remotely online via Zoom to students. We'd use https://www.hostinger.com for each student to sign up to for a free account so they could make their own Word Press site and work on it as they progressed through the course. This lets us keep the course quite practical for them and they won't just be sitting listening the whole time. At the end of the course each student could submit the site they've been working on and, if it is judged to be of a proficient standard, a course completion certificate will be issued.

African Challenge Scotland – Jacobs Work Experience Programme

We are committed to providing opportunities to young people who may otherwise face exclusion, discrimination or lack of opportunity.
Jacobs has STEAM ambassadors with knowledge across subjects that helped young people such as aeronautical engineering, geology, landscape architecture, transport planning, ecology, waste management – just to name a few!

Over the course of the week young people got a chance to meet them and they gave them some key design considerations.

The programme introduced our young people into the wide range of STEAM disciplines that will come together to make this project a reality from architects and engineers through to project managers and safety specialists. In addition to focusing on the technical skills the programme introduced our young people to some of the key skills they will need in the workplace in the 21st century such as creativity, reading and combining data from multiple different sources.

African Challenge Scotland – Glasgow Science Centre - STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)

Improving Young People's Engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM).

Many young people from more socially privileged (White, middle-class) backgrounds regularly participated in informal STEAM learning regardless of their STEAM interest.

On the other hand, many minority ethnic and working-class young people in our youth club reported being interested in STEAM and aspired to working in STEAM jobs, yet rarely took part in designed and community informal STEAM learning offers.

We worked with a range of companies, including Glasgow Science Centre to ensure that all young people receive the best possible STEAM education.

Understanding and supporting parents and carers as key influencers of young people who are making decisions about their future is an integral part of our programme.
