Technology Volunteers currently focus on two different workshops, Arduino and Scratch. Upon signing up to the project you will learn about Arduino and Scratch and help deliver workshops in local schools.

We are also involved in organising competitions which allow children to gain recognition for their progress in exciting, educational, and technology-related projects; each year we alternate between running our own Technology Volunteers competitions and supporting the BCS Coventry competitions. In our spare time, we look to create some great resources to help with workshops.

Technology Volunteers run a number of technology-based workshops with schools and community organisations in Coventry and Warwickshire. Alongside this, we also collaborate with organisations to deliver additional workshops, talks and activities.

We will reimburse travel costs for this project. Visit our travel page to plan your journey to your volunteering activity.
