Data#3: Modern classroom snaps to life with Snapdragon
Welcome to the future of learning, where technology is transforming classrooms into spaces of innovation and creativity.
Powering modern classrooms
To keep pace with new ways of teaching and learning, students and educators need tools that
are powerful, adaptable, and ready for the demands of modern education. That’s why Data#3 and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. are bringing devices powered by Snapdragon® X Series processors into Australian classrooms, empowering schools to unlock new possibilities in learning.
Performance that drives outcomes
At the heart of this transformation is Snapdragon, a platform known for delivering high performance, energy efficiency, and advanced AI capabilities in your personal computing devices. Combined with Data#3’s education services, these devices are helping schools move beyond simply using technology, to harnessing it to drive better learning outcomes.
Students today are curious, ambitious, and increasingly learning across a variety of environments, whether they’re coding in a STEM workshop, collaborating on multimedia projects, or attending virtual lessons. Snapdragon processors enable seamless multitasking and a smooth experience on your AI enabled PC. Students can explore, create, and learn without lag or disruption.
All-day learning, anywhere
Battery life also plays a key role. Devices powered by Snapdragon deliver multi-day battery performance, giving students freedom to learn anywhere, without the constant worry of charging. For schools, this means more time for learning and fewer interruptions.
These devices also bring advanced AI capabilities into the classroom, with dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that help personalise learning. AI can adapt lessons in real-time, provide instant feedback, and give teachers valuable insights to better support each student, whether they’re excelling or need additional guidance. The result is a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
Smarter tech, simplified access
Managing technology shouldn’t be a burden for schools. That’s why Data#3 offers a Device as a Service (DaaS) model, allowing schools to adopt devices powered by Snapdragon through an affordable, subscription-based approach. With DaaS, schools benefit from predictable costs, simplified IT management, and continuous access to the latest innovations, without large upfront investments or added complexity.
Compatibility is also a priority. It’s important to make sure that devices powered by Snapdragon can easily integrate into existing school ecosystems, supporting the apps and platforms educators rely on. This ensures a smooth experience for teachers and students alike.
A digital-ready future
As schools face the challenge of preparing students for a tech-driven future while balancing budgets and diverse learning needs, the collaboration between Data#3 and Qualcomm Technologies can help them move forward with confidence. High-performance, long-lasting, AI-enhanced devices are enabling innovation in classrooms across Australia.
