‘I received outstanding support from Tim and Eleanor throughout the entire process. Their communication and organisational skills were exceptional, and I couldn’t have asked for better assistance. I highly commend their professionalism and dedication’.

A teacher from a school in London has returned from a Computer Science trip to the Silicon Valley, and as the home of Google and Apple, this destination is undeniably an enthralling base for budding programmers, codes and digital communicators. The trip also allowed time to visit San Francisco’s spectacular sites, including Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and Chinatown, among others.

The group’s highlights included a guided tour of the Silicon Valley; it was a Sunday which meant the area was quiet and they could really explore, the Computer History Museum was brilliant. Students also took the opportunity to experience a driverless car!

In addition, campus tours of Stanford and UC Berkeley, led by the universities’ current students, were inspiring and motivating for the sixth formers.
