Notes de l'éditeur
- Apps for Good launched in 2010 with two Education Partners and 50 students, when we conducted pilot schemes in a community centre in Brixton and then in a girls’ state school in Tower Hamlets. Since then, we have grown our student numbers by 50,000%.
- Over 90% of educators reported improvements in students’ problem solving, presentation and teamwork skills. Just over half of educators covered coding or programming and of these, 71% reported an improvement in these skills in their students.
