(Sponsor Talk) Tech Cornwall
summary
Tech Cornwall says the tech talent gap is being closed with hands‑on programs: a youth Mission to Mars robots program teaches Python and Arduino on rover hardware, 600 students have completed it and the outreach has reached 21,000 kids, while an adult gateway course achieves a 35% placement rate into local jobs. The non‑profit runs a Tech Academy with ~1,000 learners, serves 100 member companies (≈3,000 people), and ties work experience to regional strengths like Cornwall’s 130 space firms.
