Acer for Education\u2019s mission is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. Emphasizing hands-on activities, Acer focuses on fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills\u2014essential for students navigating today\u2019s rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A highlight of this initiative is the organization of technical master classes focused on the care, maintenance, and repair of PCs. These sessions encourage students to manage their equipment responsibly, reducing e-waste and supporting environmental conservation. Through these skills, students also learn self-reliance, a key aspect of independence and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with Icono, Acer collaborated with The Sant Josep Obrer Educational Center to create the \u201cAcer Classroom,\u201d an innovative space where students in the Middle Degree of Microinformatic Systems and Networks gain hands-on experience in diagnosing and repairing equipment. This practical exposure is designed to prepare students for real-world IT careers. \u201cThe Acer Classroom in Sant Josep Obrer is one of the most special collaborations we have carried out in recent years,\u201d said Joan Moll, Director of the Educational Center. Andreu Rigo, Head of the IT area, added, \u201cThis project bridges the gap between students and the workforce, allowing students to interact with top IT companies.\u201d Juan Carlos Campos, Cycle Tutor, emphasized that these real-world experiences motivate students to pursue their professional goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Acer Classroom exemplifies Acer\u2019s commitment to preparing future IT professionals, providing essential tools and experiences that help students stand out in a competitive job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAcer recognizes the importance of extracurricular activities in helping students explore and choose their preferred career paths,\u201d stated Cristina Pez, Acer EMEA Commercial Director. \u201cAs a PC manufacturer, we\u2019re committed to supporting schools in adopting modern learning tools while empowering students to maintain their IT equipment. As the new school year begins, we want to inspire educational institutions to prioritize these impactful activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The master class equips students with useful tips for extending the life of a PC\u2014potentially by 5-8 years. Tips include maximizing battery life, running antivirus scans, removing junk files, defragmenting hard drives, keeping software updated, backing up data, and avoiding overheating. Since Acer\u2019s service is in-house, certified technicians are available to guide students, enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to IT training, Acer has partnered with Drive Lounge to offer a free summer esports academy for 500 children aged 10-16. This initiative immerses young people in motorsport esports, helping them build digital skills and explore career opportunities in gaming. \u201cWe\u2019ve been thrilled to partner with Acer for Education on this exciting initiative,\u201d said Paul Bolton, CEO of Drive Lounge. \u201cOur goal is to empower young people to turn their passions into practical skills, paving the way for personal growth and career potential in esports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
