South West Partner

Supporting CyberFirst Schools

A South West based consortium of local partners including Raytheon UK, CyNam, TechSpark SW, the South West Cyber Cluster and Graphic Science will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of a 10-month pilot programme to run the South West Cyber Education Ecosystem.

This includes the assessment and evaluation of CyberFirst School applications using the ‘CyberFirst Schools in a Box’ toolkit, the growth of the CyberFirst Schools community in the South-West and engagement and facilitation with industry and schools to enable e-mentoring and work experience.

Get kit for your classes

The NCSC has set up some distribution centres with the support of the schools and industries involved in the project.

Schools and Colleges within Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean can register for an account to be able to book equipment out.

From Ohbots, Probots and Pi-Tops, to flying drones, Spheros and Arduinos - you'll find lots of cool kit available for students to get stuck in with.

What is an 'Ambo'?

Supporting CyberFirst Schools

Our hard-working regional ambassadors, who we call Ambos, are there to help CyberFirst Schools and Colleges get the most out of the CyberFirst educational eco-system.

This could take the form of helping with educational outreach, student events and careers, facilitating relationships with local industry, governmental and academia partners, and more.
