The B!G Idea Dashboard > Teachers Resources Youthreach & CTC

We are so excited you are a part of The B!G Idea in 2024.

Welcome to your personalised dashboard! Here, you’ll find all the Teaching and Learning resources you need to guide you and your learners through The B!G Idea. This is also where you can upload your learners’ work and access valuable feedback from our industry Mentors.

As you begin, you’ll create learner teams on the dashboard and a unique QR code will be generated for your centre. Be sure to print and share this code with your learners. They’ll use it to upload all future documents directly onto the dashboard to share with mentors.

We’re excited to support you on this journey and look forward to seeing the incredible ideas your learners develop!

Contact us at teachers@thebigidea.ie with any questions or queries that come up – we are only an email away!
