A series of bespoke workshops has been designed by experienced researchers specifically to support students studying for the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or undertaking an Extended Project as part of their Diploma. These sessions can be used by teachers delivering the taught element of the EPQ to provide students with an excellent grounding in the academic and intellectual skills required.

Constructed around an off-the-shelf Google application, the project exemplifies how to use readily (and freely) available tools to tackle important tasks."
