Proud to see TMPR and Steer IT Solutions repurpose our ActivPanel to support the Cardiff Autism Centre. This meaningful collaboration brings interactivity back to a student in need—proof that sustainability and impact go hand-in-hand. Thank you both. #teamwork #sustainability
Acting sustainably is one of our core values, so when it was time to welcome our new #ActivPanel LX (aka Alex!) to the team, we naturally wanted to find a new home for our existing and long serving Promethean interactive display. Lucky for us, South Wales Promethean partner Steer IT Solutions feels the same about the environment and technology, so with our shared passion for education, this was a collaboration match made in heaven! Louise Morgan and Stuart Steer got their heads together, and found The National Autistic Society (NAS) was struggling with failing technology in its Cardiff Autism Centre. Joining forces on a ‘gift and install’ mission, Steer IT removed an old interactive whiteboard at the Cardiff centre and relocated our 75” ActivPanel to its new home. The classroom where the ActivPanel was installed is used regularly by one student who has struggled since the old interactive whiteboard stopped working. Meirion Boudier, Deputy Manager at the Cardiff Autism Centre, believes that bringing interactivity back will make a huge difference to the student’s educational experience: “Interactivity is known to improve teaching and learning for all, but this is particularly true for some autistic students. When the old board stopped working, our student became increasingly frustrated and communication became much more difficult. The return of interactivity, thanks to the ActivPanel, will change that. “As a charity, budgets are naturally a challenge, so we are always grateful for any support – and in this case, want to say a huge thank you to TMPR and Steer IT for making this happen.” We love it when a plan comes together!
