HP takes its education tools on tour

Digital skills for children and students will be getting a much-needed boost thanks to a new nationwide learning initiative from HP. The computing giant has unveiled the HP Digital Skills Community Bus at BETT 2020, with the bright-blue double-decker hoping to inspire students across the country to learn STEAM skills by bringing the technology directly to their schools. Kitted out with a range of the latest education technology, and backed by the likes of Microsoft, Adobe, Google and Intel, HP hopes that the bus will help inspire the next generation to pursue a career in a STEAM field. HP is packing the bus with its own technology, plus that of its partners, with the company providing a Virtual Reality experience area powered by its VR-ready range of Z-PCs and Mixed Reality headsets, as well as its own education edition PCs, all equipped with software such as introductory coding classes.
