Help Build Tech Den Academy

Practical support helps local learners sooner.

Usable, repairable, upgradeable and parts-grade equipment can all help create learning stations, repair projects, rebuild sessions and hands-on paths into real digital confidence.

What support can include

Equipment, resources and setup support can all help.

If you are unsure, send the details and we will let you know.

Equipment does not have to be brand new.

If it is usable, repairable, upgradeable or useful for parts, it may still help.
