The Digital Greenhouse is bringing back its Digital Innovators Programme for 2026.
The programme offers post-16 students an opportunity to learn from world-class academics and industry experts as they explore Artificial Intelligence and future technologies.
Delivered in partnership with University College London, the programme brings together academic insights in the form of live virtual lectures and hands-on events including a Student Summit and AI Hackathon.
It starts on 4 February and runs until 18 March with weekly one-hour sessions.
The first activity in the programme is the AI Explorer Virtual Learning Course, where students will take a deep dive into AI topics with six live lectures led by subject-matter experts from UCL. Topics include AI in the Workplace, Ethics, and Creative Industries, each designed to build foundational understanding and spark curiosity.
There is no cost to the students taking part as the places are fully-funded by programme sponsors 1st Central.
“We’re proud to power the Digital Greenhouse’s Digital Innovators Programme. Our students are the island’s future, so it’s important we provide them with opportunities to engage with digital technologies,” said John Davison, Chief Information Officer at 1st Central.
Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to participate as the course is designed to be accessible to those without prior technical experience.
