What an evening! Over 150 visitors across both our London and Manchester campuses joined us for an exciting evening of inspiring talks, conversations with staff, students, and alumni, and hands-on demonstrations.
At our London campus, our brilliant Sixth Form Principal, Sarah Salimullah hosted a Q&A session,covering everything from our sixth form college pathways to industry connections, learning support, and more. She was also joined by some brilliant guest speakers, including two of our Ada student role models:
- Aydah – Sixth Form Alumni and now an apprentice at ClearScore
- Onur – Our Student Voice President and T Level student
Our fantastic student volunteers were also on hand to guide guests around the state-of-the-art campus and answer questions!
If you are into tech, you want to futureproof yourself, and gain the knowledge, skills and tools to thrive in a very rapidly changing landscape, you are in the right place.
No, AI won’t take all the jobs, in fact tech is going to solve many problems. There is so much to explore in this world, and many of you here will become pioneers, innovators, creators and developers.
I’m proud to come here, when I came for an open evening I was sold. I’m just happy to be here.
Highlights:
- Everyone received an info pack with a floor plan and a treasure hunt challenge! Each classroom featured a riddle or puzzle, and solving them meant a chance to win a prize.
- The gaming room was a big hit, with guests trying out VR headsets, gaming laptops, the foosball table, and all the other cool tech on display.
At our Manchester campus, we were thrilled to welcome guest speakers, Zoe Gould (Manchester Digital Studio Director at Deloitte Digital), Sarah Saunders (Managing Consultant at PA Consulting) and Yusuf Naeem (Degree Apprentice at Royal London).
It was an evening full of inspiration, curiosity, and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who came along, we loved having you!
