The Brief AIB is investing in young people’s futures through the Future Sparks programme — an interdisciplinary initiative aimed at teaching crucial life skills. The programme teaches transferable life skills to students in 1st to 6th year, helping them transition smoothly through school and preparing them for a future career. AIB needed a new platform to attract new users, along with powerful learning and communication functionality for the growing number of participants. We developed a two-part website to align with these goals: General access Public-facing WordPress brochure platform with promotional information about the programme, categorised for key audiences (teachers, parents, students, industry, media), as well as information on how to register. Exclusive access: A fully customisable platform created in Moodle where students and teachers can register, log in and access documents — all while building a vibrant social community through online interaction and sharing content. Student login Teacher login We created the Future Sparks platform to grow dynamically with its users. It’s a progressive learning platform with engaging content such as video, text, quizzes and games. While AIB is preparing young people for the future, we’ve created a future-proofed website that will make that happen.
