About Kangaroo

Essential Roo

Kangaroo’s best bits are brought to you in this latest version!

We’ve taken all the things you love about Kangaroo including the Virtual Job Interview, Career Trek, Health and Safety Quizzes and video clips of people at work and distilled them down into an information-light, but interactive-full newly revised disc.

So what is Kangaroo?

Kangaroo is a multi-media, interactive CD-ROM and Internet gateway produced by the East Midlands Connexions Consortium. In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire it is available in every Connexions Centre and has been sent to all schools and colleges. It is also available to any of our partners (such as youth and community groups, libraries and training providers), young people and their parents or carers.

Free discs for parents and carers!
