St Luke’s Students Explore Digital Careers in Entrepreneur Workshop

Students at St Luke’s Church of England School in Exeter got a taste of the digital world during a hands-on entrepreneur workshop led by Evo Academy.

Fifteen year 9 and 10 students took part in the session, which offered an introduction to the world of digital enterprise and innovation. The workshop gave students the opportunity to explore how digital skills can be used to develop ideas, solve problems, and create opportunities in a fast-changing world.

Evo Academy was set up to help bridge the gap between traditional education and the needs of today’s digital industries, providing young people with practical skills and insight into future careers.

Staff at St Luke’s said the workshop provided an inspiring experience, helping students build confidence and broaden their understanding of digital pathways beyond the classroom.

Part of the Ted Wragg Trust, the session builds on the school’s wider approach to computing and digital learning, with students developing their skills over time through a structured programme that supports both creativity and practical application.

Mr Harrison Littler, headteacher at St Luke’s C of E School, said:

“This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to explore the world of digital enterprise in a hands-on and engaging way. Workshops like this give students the confidence and skills to think creatively about their futures and the role they can play in a rapidly changing digital world.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:

“Opportunities like this help connect classroom learning with the skills students need for the future. Building digital confidence, creativity and problem-solving is essential, and workshops like this play an important role in preparing young people for life beyond school.”
