School children involved in Coding for Kids session

Bath has an active and growing digital sector, having attracted a large number of cutting-edge enterprises into choosing the city as their home. Along with the leading research being carried out locally at the University of Bath and Bath Spa University, the city is fast becoming a hub for digital technologies in the South West.

As such, the Festival included a variety of events aimed at opening the digital scene to the general public, from competitions for local school children to city-wide events where members of the public could get a taste for all things digital. There were hands-on coding sessions, technology workshops, digital performances, demonstrations and business pitches – to name but a few.

During the 10 days that the festival ran we saw over 2,500 people attending. The event ran again in 2013.

  • Half it in size. Then half it again.

    I’m sitting looking at my inbox. It’s a bit full – I’ve been away for a week. I’ve done a bunch of culling but in there are three newsletters catching my eye, all from museums or museum related people. Out of interest, I just pasted each one into http://wordcounttools.com. They average 1,400 words each. Here’s my mental […]

  • What do you need help with?

    Yesterday, we revamped and updated our resources section – these are free worksheets, guides and templates which are supposed to help organisations get a better handle on digital engagement. As I mentioned in that post, we’ve had 5,000 downloads of these resources, and we also get a lot of positive feedback about these at the workshops and […]
