Tech Factor 2018
We speak to hundreds of schools and colleges every day and understand the vital role that technology plays in the education environment. We’ve seen some fantastic examples of how schools are preparing students for the future by making them more tech savvy.
This year we have 3 main categories for you to enter, and will be giving away £20,000 to help revolutionise your learning environment. The most innovative ideas will become our 2018 Tech Factor winners.
