Robotics Workshops in Amazon fulfilment centres
As part of the Amazon Future Engineer programme thousands of primary school children from across the UK are being given the opportunity to visit Amazon’s fulfilment centres to code robots, called Ozobots, and to tour the fulfilment centre.
Supporting and training teachers with Teach First
To boost computer science education in secondary schools, the Amazon Future Engineer programme is working with the charity Teach First to support the recruitment and training of 50 secondary school computer science teachers and the development of over 200 Teach First careers leaders.
Funding students through the Amazon Future Engineer Bursary
The Amazon Future Engineer supports two lower-income students per year studying computer science at four universities across the UK – Edinburgh, Kings College London, Manchester and Cambridge. Through the bursary scheme Amazon provides financial support of between £3,500-£5,000 per year for up to four years, as well as providing mentoring support, careers advice and networking opportunities.
