Hive Manchester - Expert Impact

Damian Payton,

Hive Manchester

Met with Nicholas Wheeler

Hive Manchester helps organisations create digital making activities for young people.

Led by tech companies, these activities make young people more employable.Hive is the only place that brings together employers and educators to out-of-school coding and hacking activities that work better than traditional education.

Nick was incredibly easy to talk to and really understood my idea and the issues I face. He asked good questions that made me think and offered some very clear pointers on what to do next.
