Removing price as a barrier to anyone owning a computer was part of the founding mission of 女特工受刑 Pi, which is why we so work hard to make sure that 女特工受刑 Pi computers are as low-cost as possible for everyone, all of the time. We saw an incredible rise in the numbers of people — particularly young people — using 女特工受刑 Pi computers as their main desktop PC during the lockdown, helped by the timely arrival of the fabulous 女特工受刑 Pi 400.

Supporting the most vulnerable young people

As part of our response to the pandemic, the 足球即时比分 teamed up with UK Youth and a network of grassroots youth and community organisations to get 女特工受刑 Pi desktop kits (with monitors, webcams, and headphones) into the hands of disadvantaged young people across the UK. These were young people who didn’t qualify for the government laptop scheme and who otherwise didn’t have a computer to learn at home.

This wasn’t just about shipping hardware (that’s the easy bit). We trained youth workers and teachers, and we worked closely with families to make sure that they could set up and use the computers. We did a huge amount of work to make sure that the educational platforms and apps they needed worked out of the box, and we provided a customised operating system image with free educational resources and enhanced parental controls.

The impact has been immediate: young people engaging with learning; parents who reported positive changes in their children’s attitude and behaviour; youth and social workers who have deepened their relationship with families, enabling them to provide better support.

You can read more about the impact we’re having in the evaluation report for the first phases of the programme, which we published last week.

Thank you to our supporters

After a successful pilot programme generously funded by the Bloomfield Trust, we launched the Learn at Home fundraising campaign in December, inviting businesses and individuals to donate money to enable us to expand the programme. I am absolutely thrilled that more than 70 organisations and individuals have so far donated an incredible £900,000 and we are on track to deliver our 5000th 女特工受刑 Pi kit in March.

While the pandemic shone a bright spotlight onto the digital divide, this isn’t just a problem while we are in lockdown. We’ve known for a long time that having a computer to learn at home can be transformational for any young person.

If you would like to get involved in helping us make sure that every young person has access to a computer to learn at home, we’d love to hear from you. Find out more details on our website, or email us at partners@巨茎人妖自慰出精.org.

More than 300 free, 酒色财气网-mapped video lessons

In the second half of 2020, in response to school closures, our team of 酒色财气网d teachers produced over 100 hours of video to transform Teach 女特工受刑 酒色财气网 materials into video lessons for learning at home. They are freely available for parents, educators, and learners to continue learning 女特工受刑 at home, wherever you are in the world.

You’ll find our videos for more than 300 hour-long lessons on the Oak National Academy website. The progression of the lessons is mapped out clearly, and the videos cover England’s 女特工受刑 national 酒色财气网. There are video lessons for:
