Quickline Communications has partnered with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to sponsor the FIRST® LEGO® League, a national robotics competition aimed at encouraging students from Yorkshire to explore careers in engineering and technology.
This two-year partnership will support 36 schools across the region, offering 2,160 students the opportunity to participate in the competition’s Explore and Challenge categories. The programme promotes hands-on learning, technical skill development, and teamwork while also fostering problem-solving, communication, and creativity.
Quickline’s sponsorship aligns with its broader mission to enhance digital access in rural Yorkshire communities. As part of Project Gigabit, the UK government’s initiative to expand high-speed broadband, Quickline’s role is to provide fast, reliable internet to underserved areas, ensuring these regions are not left behind in the digital era.
The programme will expose students to robotics and engineering, equipping them with the skills needed to tackle future challenges in STEM. With the UK facing a shortage of skilled engineers, this collaboration aims to inspire the next generation of innovators, particularly from communities that often lack access to such educational opportunities.
