Ask ICG nowEquipment we need to pilot ICG in schools
We plan to pilot ICG's tools in schools and disadvantaged locations, but a free tool is of little use without a device to run it on. Sites and dates will be confirmed with each school once the equipment and agreements are in place.
Laptops and tablets
For learners to use during workshops.
Data projectors and screens
So a whole class can follow a lesson together.
A camera
To document workshops and make short lessons. Learners' faces are never shown without written permission.
Microphones and a small portable speaker
So every learner in a hall can hear.
Supporting items
Charging storage, extension leads and power banks, carry cases, headphones, and mobile data or Wi-Fi routers where a school has no connection.
New or used is fine. Even older equipment is welcome, as long as it still works. You can give money instead: every donation helps us keep the website live and keep taking workshops to learners.
Fresh from ICG
New tools and updates, added as young people ask for them.
ICG Tools for the USA are here
Scholarship and aid finder, job finder, resume builder, interview prep, life admin and business guides for young people and families in the USA.
Ask ICG now writes documents you can download
Get tables, plans and letters, then save them as Word, PDF or Excel in one tap.
