“Speed Down Save Lives” during Road Safety Week
Meet the campus of the future
At the EDUCAUSE 2017 Annual Conference in Philadelphia, HP announced its Campus of the Future framework to meet the growing challenges of higher education and drive instructional innovation. HP, along with top universities across the globe, are working to blend the lines of technology and reality, creating spaces for imagination to take flight, and achieve maximum benefits for student success.
Brake is encouraging everyone to Speed Down Save Lives for Road Safety Week 2017 (20-26 November).
Many schools have concerns about road safety, especially when it comes to walking and cycling. And as a parent, these understandable road safety fears are likely to change as your child gets older. Road crashes are the biggest cause of death among 5-25-year-olds. As a charity that supports UK bereaved and seriously injured road crash victims, Brake is keen to work with parents to prevent these devastating crashes from happening in the first place.
It has produced lots of free tools and resources to be used during the week – from activity sheets to help engage children to a campaign toolkit to promote safer roads in your community. They also have giant hands, web banners and posters so you can share your support in-house and online. And for children aged 2-7, why not run a special Beep Beep! Day on Wednesday 22 November. Brake provides free resources. More information is at

Through applied research with university partners, HP is driving thought leadership in higher education, and linking technology for blended reality with next generation teaching, learning and research. HP is helping institutions conduct pioneering projects in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality using technology that revolutionizes interactivity and creativity. From 3D Structured Light Scanners to the amazing HP Sprout Pro, HP leads the way from 2D to 3D for campuses. Born on a university campus, HIED is an important part of HP’s DNA. They are
committed to furthering innovation in classrooms, and through collaboration with some of the world’s leading universities, they aim to expand their worldwide influence and research in 3D Printing, Extended Reality (XR), and other technology while helping university campuses improve learning outcomes and increase operational efficiency.
The Campus of the Future is powered by a range of technologies which make campuses more productive and collaborative, while helping reduce cost and security risks. From PCs to 3D Printers, HP’s portfolio of products supports campus innovation and affordability. The framework migrates from the device-based approach first used with Gen Xers. Based on learnings from those earlier implementations, the Campus of the Future framework is designed for today’s millennials to encompass maker spaces, virtual reality and design labs, and fabrication facilities. Their goal is to help build a future of next-generation experiences for students while equipping them with technology to pursue their passions – whether it be in particle physics or drama.
