Our ambition is simple: wherever we build, we leave a lasting legacy, not just in infrastructure, but in opportunity. Through this digital toolkit, we’re giving children the confidence and skills to make the most of the connectivity around them. That's why CityFibre and 8billionideas have come together to create The Tech Toolkit.

Together, we're aiming to reach
one million learners by 2030.

Three ways to use in classrooms

We know that teachers already have enough on their plates. That's why The Tech Toolkit has been designed to be simple, flexible, and ready to use straight away. Alongside the cards, schools will receive access to supporting materials designed to help turn the toolkit into engaging classroom activities, discussions, games, and lessons.

Start a discussion

Use a card as a lesson starter or form-time activity. Read the card together, explore the "Did You Know?" fact, and then challenge students to discuss the scenario on the back. Encourage them to share different viewpoints, debate solutions, and explain their reasoning.

Team challenges

Split students into small groups and give each group a different card. Ask them to:
- Research the topic further
- Create a short presentation
- Design a poster
- Act out the scenario
- Teach the concept to the rest of the class

Explore future pathways

Use the cards as a gateway into conversations about technology, careers, and the future. Students can explore:
- Which technologies interest them most
- What future jobs they might enjoy
- How digital skills connect to real-world opportunities
- The role technology plays in everyday life

The future won't be built by technology alone

It will be built by people who know how to use technology responsibly, creatively, and confidently. The Tech Toolkit is designed to help young people:

Understand the digital world

Stay safe online

Explore future careers

Build confidence with technology

Develop critical thinking skills
