At Onyx IT, we believe in the power of technology to shape the future and ignite the creative instincts of the next generation. Delivering Norwich IT support places us in a position to support the local community and partake in these events.
Our recent collaboration with Open Academy Norwich is a testament to this commitment and our enthusiasm to support creative thinking.
We proudly sponsored a Rocket Car Racing project, donating £250 for kits that included polystyrene blocks, axles, wheels, and CO2 bottles. This initiative not only provided students with the materials to design, paint, and build their own cars but also offered an exciting, hands-on learning experience.

The excitement was palpable on race day as the students gathered to showcase their creations, embodying their inner Adrian Newey. The afternoon was a thrilling spectacle of innovation and speed, with cars racing along a 20-meter fixed steel line, achieving impressive times of just a few seconds.

The students’ enthusiasm and ingenuity were on full display, particularly the team of boys who built the fastest car and earned themselves £10 Amazon vouchers each. This project was more than just a race; it was an opportunity for students to engage with technology in a fun and practical way, fostering skills in design, engineering, and teamwork.
At Onyx IT, we’re passionate about giving back to our community and investing in the future by supporting local school initiatives throughout Norwich, Norfolk, and beyond. We understand that technology plays a vital role in modern education, and we’re here to help schools make the most of it. From hands-on assistance with tech projects, enhancing infrastructure, or providing guidance on cyber security, we’re committed to equipping schools with the tools and knowledge they need.
One initiative close to our heart is Keyboards 4 Kids, which provides refurbished keyboards and other resources to schools in need. This project aims to reduce digital inequalities, allowing every student to have access to the technology essential for today’s learning environment. We believe that by supplying quality, repurposed equipment, we can help schools overcome budget constraints while promoting sustainability.
Whether your school is interested in developing new IT capabilities, needs support on a tech-related project, or could benefit from the Keyboards 4 Kids program, we’d love to hear from you! Together, we can create a richer, more inclusive learning environment that prepares students for a bright, tech-savvy future. Reach out to us today, and let’s make a difference in education, one project at a time.
A BIG thank you to Open Academy Norwich for inviting us to take part. We are eager to connect with other organizations and schools in the local area that share our vision. If you know of any similar initiatives or are interested in collaborating on projects that empower the next generation through technology, we would love to hear from you.
Let’s work together to create more opportunities for young people to explore their creative instincts and develop their skills.
Reach out to me, Mark Harrison, at Onyx IT and let’s inspire the innovators of tomorrow, today.
