The official London 2012 education programme, Get Set, will help us to achieve our promise to capture the imagination of young people around the world.
The programme offers children and young people in the UK and around the world ways to get involved - no matter what they are inspired by.
It will spark their imagination and enthusiasm for learning. It will help them realise their potential and engage with other young people across the UK and around the world.
