About Us
We're an education technology charity, proud to partner with schools and brands
Who we are
We believe that all young people should be empowered to take action on the things they care about most.
We provide free tech innovation courses to schools, giving teachers ready-made education content, so young people from all backgrounds can develop computing and essential skills to create a brighter future through technology.
With over a decade of experience, we’re an education technology charity that is proud to partner with leading brands to keep our course content 100% free of charge to schools, as well as giving students the opportunity to directly benefit from their industry expertise.
How we work
Our purpose is to ensure all young people - especially those experiencing disadvantage - have the tech innovation skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our work is powered by:
1: Tech for Good
We believe that young people can shape their future through technology. We don’t just teach them to code - we teach the entrepreneurial skills they’ll need to become the tech innovators of tomorrow.
2: The need for essential skills
Our content develops the essential skills needed for future work, improving young people’s confidence, problem solving, collaboration and communication skills. We are accredited by Skillsbuilder and use their framework to aid student success.
3: What matters to students
Young people are empowered by solving problems they care about. We teach how technology can have a positive impact and support them to design relevant tech products that will change their world for the better.
4: Industry engagement
Our students build their products using processes that are aligned with industry. We connect them to real-world professionals to support their product ideas by providing feedback and career insights.
Our Team
Our expertise spans, tech sector, education, youth work and social good. We are supportive, collaborative, inclusive and empowering. We work alongside our educators and our partners to develop our courses to create the best outcomes for young people.

Student voices
We believe that education isn’t something that happens to students - it’s something that happens with them. Our work is rooted in empowering young people to take the lead on issues that matter most to them, which is why we involve young people in shaping our offer and broadening our reach. By activating student voices in a purposeful way, we can ensure that the experiences, ideas, and feedback from our learners are at the forefront of everything we do.
Our board of Trustees and Advisors play a crucial role in the governance of Apps for Good, as well as bringing a wealth of expertise to support us in an advisory capacity.
