DONATE

Apps for Good is an education technology charity working to transform education to help young entrepreneurs thrive in a tech driven future, growing a generation of tech creators. We work with teachers to create a new kind of learning, one that's rooted in the real world and driven by students. Students taking the course move through the full app development cycle from concept to coding to launch, creating their own digital tools to solve real world problems.

Challenge

Young people across the globe are demotivated by traditional teaching methods that leave them ill prepared for the working world. Teachers who want to use technology to create exciting new ways to learn feel frustrated they cannot do more. Technology is advancing apace, exciting the imagination of young people, who want to use it to make, play and share. That is why we decided a new approach was needed.

Long-Term Impact

Apps for Good launched in its first school in 2010 with the course being delivered to 25 students in an East London school. Since 2010 Apps for Good courses have been delivered to over 200,000 students in the UK, and many more across the globe. We want to continue this growth and reach more and more students.
