Apps for Good

Free creative technology courses & workshops for schools

Apps for Good are here to support teachers, parents and students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have built new versions of our courses that can be completed from home, and our Awards are open to classroom and home projects from across the world.

Apps for Good has turbo-charged the commitment of our students, with positive effects rippling out into all aspects of school life. It is really pleasing to witness some of our previously shy pupils taking to the stage to pitch ideas they care about.”

A Competitive Edge

Apps for Good is not just about tech, it’s about confidence. I have a better attitude to my ideas now, and I'm much better at talking in front of people. I was really shy when I started, I'm much more likely now to give things a go and see what happens.”
