Casey Farquharson

Casey Farquharson is founder of Driving Technology, the company behind the innovative IDEAS bus.

The IDEAS bus is an eye-catching, bright yellow American school bus touring the UK’s schools and colleges providing a new way for teachers and students to discover technology. Fitted out inside with the latest in cutting edge technology, the bus project was devised in order to give teachers much-needed access to technology and information about technology more easily, and to also ignite a passion about tech into the next generations. The bus is a symbol, a driving force, to help make Britain great again by having our next generations creating the tech products and services of the future instead of just consuming it! The industrial revolution 2.0.

“Life is measured through experience and experience is gained through opportunity,
and opportunity allows everyone to realise their potentials.
Technology is a wonderful enabler that allows our world to remove barriers,
create social mobility and provide communication on a global scale opening our eyes.
Technology is not only a tool to help us, it is becoming integral to our everyday way of life.”

Casey is a passionate entrepreneur who is always looking for ways to help education and the younger generations. Having grown up in a block of flats on a council estate in East London in a single parent family, Casey is all too aware of the challenges faced by the under privileged. Casey wants to make sure that opportunities exist and are available to all. Casey has worked with tech for over 25 years, the last 12 of those in EdTech. He now lives in West London with his partner and three young children.
