Our Digital Media and Computing learners recently attended the Bett Show at ExCeL London, a prominent event in the EdTech sector. Known for providing access to top-quality educational technology, industry leaders, and collaboration opportunities, Bett’s mission to spark ideas, create connections, and drive impactful outcomes aligns perfectly with our educational objectives.
  
Our learners didn't just attend the show; they immersed themselves in it. They networked, engaged with EdTech employers, and explored exhibits, all while completing tasks aligned with their curriculum. Our Digital Media group analysed how 2D and 3D imagery is used in product promotion, further understanding media products and audiences. Our Computer Science learners gathered inspiration for idea generation and presentation concepts. 
  
Rebecca, a Digital Media learner, shared her enthusiasm: “It was an amazing experience! I learned a lot from employers and gained deeper insight into digital media pitching. The interactive environment was incredibly engaging.” 
  
A standout moment was our opportunity to present digital work on the Promethean and Intel stands. Digital Media learners showcased their 2D and 3D models on Padlet, using Promethean's ActivPanel interactive boards. Sonny, Petar, Alif, and Kai presented their interactive digital projects, demonstrating their skills and the curriculum’s practical applications. 

Rosie and Bo had the opportunity to present their digital projects, including Machine Learning and 3D CAD applications, at the Intel booth, showcasing how advanced technologies have enhanced their learning. 

  
Kai, who presented at the show, reflected on the impact of this experience: “Today was eye-opening. I learned that there are many ways to achieve my goals and shape my future.” 
  
We extend our gratitude to the Bett Show and partners like Intel and Promethean for giving our learners these invaluable real-world opportunities. Their experience at the show was truly transformative.
