Software Cornwall - Meet Cornwall's Tech Community
summary
Software Cornwall describes concrete outcomes: an education outreach program that wins Careers Enterprise Company provider of the year (West & Southwest) funding, runs Missions to Mars bootcamps (30 Year 10 students per week), supplies Raspberry Pi kits and Rover robots to schools, and helps a visually impaired learner use Google Pixel earbuds to retrieve bus times. Careers assemblies reach every secondary school but one, work with NEETs and colleges, mentors via an MVP “Industry Buddies” app, and game-based exercises hit up to 137 frisbee iterations with pupils (professionals score far lower).
