More than 4,000 schools across Australia now have access to world class courses in computing and technology thanks to a local entrepreneur and new franchise business, ScopeIT Education.
The operation is founded upon the principle of “every student, regardless of background, socioeconomic status or geographic region, should have access to the digital skills they will need to succeed in their future careers and workplaces”, says founder and CEO, Mr Frank Lucisano.
ScopeIT Education is a full service solution for primary schools across Australia to have their students learn technolog based subjects.
Courses are tightly integrated with the Board of Studies curriculum providing lessons on learning to code, building websites, creating apps, 3D printing and design, Arduino, robotics, Google research and Digital Citizenship, which includes online behaviour and safety.
“We provide the entire solution to the school, bringing the hardware, software, internet connection, lesson plans and even ‘Scopers’, our own professional and fully trained instructors,” said Mr Lucisano.
They have several schools on the Coast on board with many others looking to implement courses very soon. “We are really proud to not only be educating the future of tomorrow, but also generating jobs and security in the technology and teaching sectors.
“We anticipate to have over 200 instructors by the end of the year.”
