Their entry idea was Project Refurb. Open Academy are planning to invest in new PCs and refurbish their old ones to distribute in their local community. The idea is that students learn basic computer maintenance and some fundamental computer software and network skills.
Project Refurb is a fantastic opportunity for Open Academy’s young people to learn valuable STEAM skills. From engaging students in experiential learning to encouraging them to embrace collaboration, learning to refurbish PCs will be as valuable to students as learning to code. They’ll learn to persist with problem-solving and develop a maker mindset through this build your own project.
