Get hands-on in the workshop with our Digital Infrastructure club. This free, 5-week practical course is designed for students in Years 9-11. You won’t just talk about tech, but physically strip down PCs, wire your own cables and test enterprise-style servers.
What’s in it for me?
- Hands-on time in real college tech labs
- Practical skills that go well beyond what you’re learning in school
- Gain the BRIDGWATER COLLEGE DIGITAL FUTURES AWARD to boost your CV and college application.
Whether you’re looking into future careers in cyber security, software engineering or system architecture—or just love tinkering with hardware—this programme lets you see what path you could follow after school.
