Researcher Systems

To ensure consistency in the learning experience and technical environment all Researchers, Mentors and Local Teams use Apple Mac. The platform has fewer compatibility and security issues than Microsoft Windows, making it far easier, and thus cheaper, to support. The user interface is more transparent and easily adopted; deemed essential for rapid engagement within the community.

As a brand associated with the creative industries, the Mac is perceived as a product considerably more desirable than the average school computer, leading to immediate improvement in self esteem.

All equipment is selected for its suitability for the task at hand, technical features, robustness, after sales support (length of warranty) and overall value for money. In addition, a range of professional applications are provided and other applications can be provided dependant on the researchers interests.
