We made it from the shortlist of ten to the top three finalists and we collected a runner up award from Baroness Bakewell DBE on 11 June 2013 at a ceremony in London.
The judges praised our event as “an innovative approach to teaching essential digital skills and a great way of showing how the internet can be used for fun and unusual activities.”
So ... another certificate for our wall and a great sense of achievement for the project as a whole, as well as a true collaboration between University of West of England and Boing! that was mutually beneficial.

We would like to give Georgie Batt at Boing! a special mention becauseshe used the event to reach out to the neighbouring area of Eastgate so the project had that extra element of strategy and success, as well as being a lot of fun.
Nice to see a local project getting the recognition it deserves.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we think so too and we are not alone ... our partners at Hewlett-Packard are delighted:
Delete"Brilliant News – very well done. To have come Joint Second out of 107 events across the country is a superb result – we are clearly making an impact and getting recognised. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that goes into make these events so successful!"
Forgot to say, we've also heard from Georgie at Boing! that having the Award Certificate displayed at Boing! has caused parents to ask what it was for and created a lot of interest in what we do, and what the project is about.
