Empowering the Next Generation: ClickSafe Club CIC Launches 3-Day LEGO Robotics & Future Engineering Pathways Bootcamp this Easter

Manchester, UK - ClickSafe Club CIC is proud to announce its LEGO Robotics & Future Engineering Pathways Bootcamp, taking place April 8-10, 2025.

This dynamic 3-day programme will empower young people aged 13-16, particularly those from underrepresented
communities, with hands-on experience in robotics, coding, and career pathways in STEM.

In today's conversations about equity in tech, particularly in fields like MedTech, there is growing recognition of the need for diverse voices in designing and developing the technologies that shape our future. However, true equity doesn't start at the design table; it starts far earlier, it begins with access. Yet many children from underserved communities face barriers in STEM
early on: limited opportunities, lack of representation, and systemic misconceptions about who belongs in tech. These challenges diminish aspirations and restrict future access to careers in science, technology, and engineering.

ClickSafe Club CIC was founded to change that.
Born out of a need to bridge the digital divide, the organisation delivers free, inclusive STEM education, online safety, and digital skills programmes for communities across London (Woolwich)and Manchester. Informed by local insight and supported by national research such as NFER's "Building Foundations", ClickSafe focuses on culturally responsive teaching and early intervention to ensure all young people can
imagine themselves as future innovators. Visit our website at https://www.clicksafeclub.org.uk to learn more.

The fully booked Easter bootcamp, filling up on day one, will engage students from Dean Trust Ardwick, Trinity CoFE High School, Cedar Mount Academy, and Manchester Academy.

Participants will explore:
- LEGO SPIKE Prime kits (donated by the Institute of Engineering and Technology)
- Block-based and Python coding
- FIRST LEGO League-inspired challenges
- Apprenticeships, university pathways, and scholarship info
- Support and talks from diverse university students in Tech including an Amazon Future Engineer scholar

This bootcamp is more than an event, it's a movement toward tech equity.

Join Us: ClickSafe Club CIC invites educators, funders, and tech partners to help expand this model and build a future where innovation is truly inclusive.

The inception of ClickSafe Club was driven by the pressing needs observed within our community, particularly concerning children's online safety and disparities in STEM education. Local findings and broader research have highlighted several critical issues:​

ClickSafe Club was founded to tackle a pressing challenge in our community-the vulnerability of young people to online risks, the widening gap in STEM attainment, and the lack of interest in technology-driven careers, particularly among underrepresented and underserved groups. We recognised how disparities in STEM education were leaving many children behind and how misconceptions among parents often led to STEM being undervalued. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and culturally responsive STEM programs, we are shifting perceptions, unlocking potential, and empowering the next generation of innovators.​
