2024 grant recipients

Project funded by the Powerhouse Grant - Large grant and project completed

Digit<all> provided a wide range workshops at Didcot library and at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory for young people and their parents to explore creative and collaborative STEM projects through the lens of climate action.  Children used small programmable devices to count nature, detect humidity and created prototypes that could help mitigate the effects of climate action by developing early warning systems.  They coded these solutions, developing essential programming skills such as sequence, selection and iteration so that data was collected and could be analysed; helping them to understand how technology can use in their own garden, allotment, school or community. 

Impact achieved so far

The project reached 276 young people between the ages of 7 and 12 with 46% of girls attending and including children with free school meals and low decile ranges. The average satisfaction rating from surveys completed provided an average of 4.8 out of 5.0.  This indicates a large percentage of young people and adults enjoyed the experiences provided. The average intent to persist from the surveys completed showed an average of 4.7 out of 5.0.  This indicates a large percentage of young people and adults wanted to engage in more of these activities.
