Scan Computers and Ukie today announce a partnership to significantly improve the technological hardware provision across Ukie Education events. Scan Computers will become Ukie Education's first-ever cross-programme partner, providing equipment across both Digital Schoolhouse and Ukie Students events.
This partnership will enable Ukie to provide access to the latest technology, including high-performance PCs and games hardware, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in interactive workshops, game development challenges, and esports competitions.
In the 2023/24 academic year, Ukie Education successfully delivered 24 events, engaging over 2,200 students from schools, colleges, and universities across the UK. These events offered unique, hands-on opportunities for young people exploring the world of video games, from experiential workshops and inspiring talks to industry-led competitions.

"Our events provide exciting and cutting-edge experiences for young people. To achieve this, we rely on high-end hardware.
We are thrilled to partner with Scan Computers to elevate the technological experience at our events and provide students with the best possible platform to engage with the industry."
