Hi all,
I've just come across a programme I think would be a fantastic opportunity for our students.
Bentley Systems, in partnership with Enactus UK & Ireland, has launched the iTwin4Good Virtual Developer Programme — a free, 6-week initiative open to students aged 18+ across the UK & Ireland.
It gives students the chance to gain hands-on experience with technology, earn an industry-recognised certification, and be mentored by Bentley software developers. They'll work in teams to design tech-based solutions to real-world environmental or social challenges, with the chance to pitch live in London, win £1,000 in grant funding, and a trip Enactus World Cup in Bangkok.
I think it’s definitely worth sharing more widely to our students. We’ve been given access to some helpful promo resources and templates to make that easy:

Let me know if you’re planning to share it or would like more info!
