Teesside & District Branch - Making IT Good for Society

BCS Teesside Branch are ‘Making IT Good for Society’. The last few years have seen a break with traditional public meeting formats, they have looked to their local community to become more inclusive and collaborative.

November 2018 saw an organised BCS Teesside Branch visit to Hackspace Teesside, a worthy local, tinkering space for adults, running the Hackspace philosophy. They hold a regular ‘visitor Tuesday’ open evening for which we supplied pop and pizza.

Background

Volunteers are extremely important to the functioning of BCS and this policy reduces the amount of risk that our volunteers take on during the day-to-day running of their groups.
