BT Internet Ranger of the Year
Posted in All posts
Congratulations to fourteen year old student, Jenny Pidgley, who has been named as this year’s overall UK winner of BT’s Internet Ranger of the Year and also won the National award for England.
Over the last seven years, these awards have inspired hundreds of young people to help bridge the digital divide by helping older generations acquire basic computer skills; equipping them with the confidence to access and benefit from using the internet.
Jenny has shown her commitment by running free computer sessions at her school for the last two years, taking on the responsibility from her older brother. The sessions are fortnightly on Saturdays and are run in connection with Age Concern, New Forest East. Jenny teaches basic IT skills such as using the internet and sending e-mails and often visits those that cannot attend to share her skills.
