Join it@cork Adopt a School Programme
 |
This programme is developing vibrant and creative relationships between IT-intensive organisations and schools. It excites and engages young students in IT-based innovation and helps organisations make a strategic contribution to the economic and social development of the regions in which they operate.
We encourage your organisation to "sign-up" to this programme and to make a real contribution to helping primary and post primary school students discover how IT can be used creatively for fun and for commercial gain.
By "signing up" to adopt-a-school, your organisation will be committing to carry out one or more of the following actions for one or more local schools.- Providing some software development classes to interested students
- Providing some software/harware troubleshooting classes to interested students
- Donating some useful IT equipment, new or re-configured
- Providing some necessary IT support
- Offering work experience for transition-year students interested in IT
- Setting up a Coder Dojo in your organisation for local children to learn how to "code" in an informal environment
In relation to every adopt-a-school success story, it@cork will ensure that your organisation receives full recognition for it's contribution and will: - Formally present to your organisation an adopt-a-school certificate which may be displayed in a prominent location in your premises, on your website etc.
- Publish relevant details on the it@cork Website
- Provide extensive coverage on social media websites
- Provide numerous photo opportunities
- Issue press release to relevant media outlets
