Project BigAmbition

This is a revolutionary programme whose primary strategy is to attract teenagers towards education and careers within the IT sector. No easy task when you realise that for teenagers IT is synonymous with the IT crowd!

The initiative focuses on helping 14-19 year olds make informed choices in an inspiring and accessible way – stimulating demand among young people for technology-related degrees and careers plus improving the gender imbalance in IT.

The site is designed to be both high impact and student centred. This means that it is goal orientated; intuitive; accessible and useful so that it can be tailored to individual needs and wants. We offer a huge range of interactive features as well as articles about specifically targeted technology relevant to the teenage audience – social networking, gaming, fashion, music and so on – in order to show young people that technology forms a crucial element to their lives and that careers in IT can be both relevant and rewarding!

The university, company and employee profiles sections are designed to showcase a number of companies, their inspirational uses of technology and some of the people behind that technology. In addition, there is a section of the website dedicated to a staff room facility, so that teachers are able to utilise a separate function from a classroom and monitor the students’ careers progression route from their login area etc.
