The project, which works to broaden the ICT opportunities available to primary pupils, tasked Year 6 pupils with responding to a TCS brief asking them to design a digital solution that will help tackle a sustainability issue in their communities in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The projects were worked on throughout the autumn term with the winning groups from each primary academy presenting their digital ideas to design an AI solution to help reduce the impact of climate change to a panel of esteemed judges from TCS, Co-op and Co-op Academies Trust.

Shirine Khoury-Haq, CEO of the Co-op Group, presented awards to the participating teams alongside Co-op’s Chief Technology Officer, Rob Elsey. Chris Tomlinson, CEO of Co-op Academies Trust, was also in attendance and spent time congratulating participants on their hard work and creativity.

Our Year 6 team's interactive litter detection presentation earned them the runner-up position! 

GoIT is dedicated to teaching students the skills they need to be successful in Tech. With technology being a key part of STEM, as a Trust, we are always keen to upskill pupils, so they have a broader understanding and knowledge of a significant growth sector.
