1. Context

On 4th October 2017, the Tech Partnership announced that it would close in September

2108. A key objective for its final year of operation is to maximise its ongoing legacy for

future generations across all nations of the UK.

This document invites relevant third parties to put forward proposals to take forward the

Tech Partnership’s employer-led TechFuture schools programmes beyond the

organisation’s closure.

The successful proposer will be given, without charge, the organisation’s TechFuture

assets and brand, subject to the conditions set out in section 4. These assets are the result

of multi million pound investments over many years, resulting in a rich suite of up to date

curriculum materials for students and teachers.

2. About TechFuture

2.1 Introduction

TechFuture is the schools-facing brand of the Tech Partnership. Continuing to grow in

popularity, 1,300 teachers in 1,000 schools are registered to use industry-led TechFuture

resources, benefitting thousands of young people each year.

Key principles of TechFuture resources are that they:

- Have employers and real-world contexts at their heart;

- Are easy for teachers, fun for students, and actively appeal to girls as well as boys;

- Add real value to students by inspiring them about technology and helping them fulfil

their potential in a diverse digital world;

- Reflect the broad capabilities valued by industry, including solution design and the

application of technology to solve real world problems.

TechFuture Classroom provides resources for Key Stage 3 to 5 students and their

teachers, while TechFuture Girls supports school clubs for 9 – 14 year olds. TechFuture

Badges provide online recognition of student achievement for both, and all resources are

mapped to the national curriculum.

TechFuture resources are delivered on a professional Totara Learning Management

System which integrates the learning of TechFuture Classroom and TechFuture Girls with

TechFuture Badges. Teachers sign in and can upload files of their student cohorts,

enabling them to track activity and progress.

TechFuture is also supported by TechFuture Ambassadors – employer volunteers who

encourage students through school visits and mentoring.

Surveys of teachers and students consistently show a positive impact on skills, confidence,

and propensity to consider IT-related education and / or careers, with over 90% of students

‘definitely’ or ‘possibly’ more like to pursue study or careers in the sector as a result of their

TechFuture experience.

Typical quotes from school surveys are included in this section to help illustrate what

teachers value about TechFuture.

2.2 TechFuture Classroom

TechFuture Classroom provides engaging, relevant projects for students which have been

co-developed with employers. Each project comprises:

• Professionally produced e-learning modules, all with integrated video featuring

employers discussing the projects.

• Supporting documents including student logs, exemplar assessments, briefing

documents and teacher guides.

• Folders of additional assets relevant to the project, including copyright-free images and

sound clips.

There are sixteen projects available currently, which have been developed with employers

including Appshed, BAFTA, Capgemini, CoderDojo, IBM, Intel, O2, SAS, and Skylark.

These cover topics such as coding, cyber security, app development, games design, web

design, data analytics, software architecture, and wearable technology. Annex A

summarises the content of each TechFuture Classroom project and shows its relevance to

the Programme of Study for Computing in England.

“Coding using Kodu has been very popular - especially with the boys (no surprise

there!)”

“The HTML5 design based project really appealed to my student's creative side.”

“They have had their eyes opened by using the cyber security resources, as to the

kinds of things that could happen in the real world”.

“It helps them code without it being boring.”

TechFuture Classroom also offers a suite of teacher CPD modules, developed in

partnership with Naace and ARM:

- Ten cyber security modules are focused upon relevant issues for schools including

Ofsted requirements and e-safety. In addition, lesson plans and other resources are

downloadable for use in teaching. Certificates of Achievement are awarded

automatically on completion.

- Three computing modules cover Algorithms, Computational Thinking and Principles

of Programming. These were developed with support and funding from ARM and are

suitable for both primary and secondary teachers.

“Fantastic teacher lesson plans and resources….quality e-learning content”

“I really like the `real’ scenarios presented in lots of different ways”

2.3 TechFuture Girls

TechFuture Girls offers a range of fun challenges, designed for delivery in after-school

clubs, but equally useful in the classroom or for learning at home. Again these use self-

paced interactive e-learning, supported by resources including ‘how2s’, delivery guides,

images, videos and offline challenges.

© Copyright the Tech Partnership 2018 Page 5 of 19

For TechFuture Girls, learning is set in real-world contexts that tend to be particularly

attractive to girls, with the objective of encouraging more to consider tech-related education

and employment in the future. Digital Badges are awarded on completion of e-learning

modules.

• Creative Coding comprises three modules on HTML, coding in Scratch and game

building in Kodu;

• Cyber Safety has four modules covering phishing, digital footprint, cryptography, and

online safety, and a Cyber Star badge for girls who complete all four modules.

• Sport and Fitness has three modules, on blogging, vlogging and fitness technology.

Annex B summarises the content of each TechFuture Girls challenge, and its relevance to

the Programme of Study for Computing in England.

“The club is a favourite with the girls and I think the resources are well made and

produced. The colourful graphics appeal to the girls.”

“They enjoy the 'calmness' of an all girl after school club. Also, it is a mixed age

range, and this helps confidence.”

“Some of the girls we had in the Summer Term were really keen to take things further

with their computing.”

In addition, seasonal badges were created for Halloween and Christmas 2017, and nine

new modules and associated badges are being developed for release in first quarter 2018

covering ‘tech for good’, digital music making and digital crime scene investigation.

“The competition has totally engrossed them! Halloween gif one! Not sure they will

make the deadline but they have loved using tech to make it.”

2.4 TechFuture Badges

Over 4,000 students have so far received TechFuture badges, all of which are supported

and endorsed by employers and feature their logos. There are currently 45 Badges linked

to TechFuture Classroom content and 13 linked to TechFuture Girls content (rising to 24 in

first quarter 2018). Annex C provides more detail.

Students of any age can gain badges on the TechFuture learning platform and see them

in their My Badges section. Those 13 years and older receive Open Badges which they

can share online through Mozilla Open Backpack. Younger students gain Digital Badges

which are non-shareable but which can become Open Badges on reaching their 13th

birthday.

TechFuture Badges are either awarded automatically on completion of the relevant

e-learning or awarded by the teacher after verification of student evidence.

“Cyber Security badges for KS4 are well structured. Each badge was of a suitable

length to set as homework and the badges gave the students an added incentive.”

“As the courses are bite size, and they can be completed anywhere and repeated…

there is not the pressure of traditional qualifications where you only have one chance,

so as they achieve more badges they gain in confidence.”

“My students have SEN and they can access your courses and badges, while they

can't access full GCSEs….and as they have industry along side them it has shown

the students what jobs there are in industry.”

2.5 TechFuture Ambassadors

The 1,250 TechFuture Ambassadors are employer volunteers who help to inspire the next

generation about the world of tech and the skills needed for success in the digital world.

Volunteers operate through one of five partners: STEM Ambassadors, Inspiring the Future,

Founders4Schools, the Careers and Enterprise Company or Brightside. They agree to offer

a minimum of an hour of their time to support career sessions, CV writing, employability

skills training and or / career advice strategies for schools.

The Tech Partnership encourages employers to get involved by registering with one or

more of these partners and provides video content and resources to support the volunteers.

This includes, for example, guides to running a session about digital careers, supporting a

TechFuture Classroom project, and starting a TechFuture Girls Club.

2.6 Technology platform

The resources can be used on either the current TechFuture platform, or easily transported

to another Learning Management System (LMS) since each learning module is a SCORM

package.

The TechFuture platform is based on Totara version 2.9.3, the licence for which is currently

around £6,500 a year.

The platform is currently hosted by Rapidswitch on a Linux server at a cost of £150 + vat a

month, with the Tech Partnership taking responsibility for administration and management.

Alternatives could be considered. For example, for a one off cost, the platform could be

migrated to Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud hosting, which could facilitate external

management and provide advantages of advanced back up and redundancy.
