Digital Technology & the Environment

IN PERSON CAMPS

More than at any other time of history, man has become critically dependent on technology. We are also producing vast amounts of data which needs to be processed and stored. How do software and hardware interact with the environment and what does the future hold?

At TechSpark Academy, we are excited to launch our new course on Digital Technology and the Environment. This module exposes students to ways in which digital technology harms the environment, as well as to how it can be a source for good.

  • Green IT looks at ways in which digital processes and the hardware on which they depend can be run with reduced energy consumption and lower environmental impact. Students will consider: how can we practice more environmentally sustainable computing?

     

  • IT for Green looks at how information technology can be used to monitor and manage the environment and our consumption and disposal patterns. We ask, how we can use IT to become more sustainable, and are there personal commitments we can make?

The course will stimulate student’s thinking about how digital technology can help us protect the environment. Participants will consider responsible use and work with real case studies and practical examples.

If you are keen to learn more about the technologies and frameworks related to the digital and environment, the circular economy and sustainability strategies, this course is for you!
