Entity: Fire Tech Camp
Category: EdTech
Description: Fire Tech is the UK's leading provider of extra-curricular learning experiences focused on tech and 21st century skills. Fire Tech Camp is a specialist tech camp provider in the UK, bringing holiday activities into the 21st century. Kids want to create, not just consume, technology. Fire Tech Camp provides them with the skills to do just that, with short, creative courses in programming, media, and making. Fire Tech’s mission is to be the go-to resource for families who are preparing for the future - by offering courses in digital skills, helping young people develop other 21st century skills like communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.
Project: Remote education to upgrade digital skills
Summary: Fire Tech Camp is working to close the tech skills gap by inspiring and training kids to be confident technologists, creative thinkers and thoughtful leaders. The coronavirus pandemic and lockdown has had a significant and potentially lasting effect on education, with EdTech seeing accelerated adoption on a mass scale. On a global level, EdTech companies saw VC investment grow by 22% in Q1 2020. The UK is a leader in the field, with its startups attracting 41% of all European investment last year according to data from our Data Commons. EdTech investment climbed 91% from 2018 to 2019. In contrast, investment in the US actually fell by 12% and European investment only grew by 8%. EdTech companies in the UK are numerous but tend to be at an earlier stage in development than those in markets like the US. Companies have raised smaller sums of money than those in sectors such as AI, FinTech and HealthTech and are less well equipped to cope with the sudden demand from parents or schools. EdTech has huge potential around the world to democratise access to education, and UK companies are well-placed to provide services into the international market.
