Sandwell Council unveil Youth Bus to equiped with laptops, Wi-Fi and DJ Equipment
Today I came across a new Youth Bus from Sandwell Council whilst scrolling through my Twitter feed.
The bus has been unveiled to help provide activities and advice to thousands of young people. What really caught my eye though was the on-board state-of-the-art technology that the bus features.
The new Youth Bus from Sandwell Council has on-board computers with Wi-Fi, large screen TVs, games consoles and DJ-ing equipment.
The Sandwell Council website states the bus will be ‘a key link out in the community to provide advice and information to 11 to 19-year-olds on a wide range of issues such as jobs, personal safety, drugs, alcohol and sexual health’.
Sandwell young people in the Friends of the Youth Bus group have helped to design the bus and what it offers.
Sandwell Youthbus - What are people saying?
Aimee Smallman
Aged 15 - Involved in the design
"The bus is really good. I really didn't think it would be that good when we saw it in the workshop. The Xbox Kinect and games room are brill."
Louise Swinfen
Aged 16 - Involved in the planning
"It was good to finally see the youth bus we helped plan. I really hope people will look after it. It will be a good thing for young people to play on and do coursework and things."
Keep up the good work kids and thanks Sandwell!
It’s great to see our local council making the most of the technology and social resources we have available.
