The digital agency, which is based at the equator, has no gorgeous packaging gifts for Christmas this year.
Instead, the company donated time and money to provide technology and training for refugee children's classrooms in northern France.
The children are among the 1,500 refugees located in Camp La Liniere, a suburb of Dunkirk.
Two members of the equator innovation team, Lindsay Carr and Stephen Noble, went to the camp to donate digital technology and show volunteers there how to use it.
The "digital classroom" they left behind by a box (
As a charging station)
It includes a wireless projector, 20 student tablets and teaching pads, and a range of educational applications.
Because the electricity supply in the camp is not perfect, the technology is wireless, so it does not rely on electricity when using it and can be charged overnight.
Built in 2015, La Liniere mainly provides cleaner, safer and more permanent homes for Kurds and refugees from countries such as Iraq, Syria and Iran.
The camp was funded by the local government and the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders.
Residents live in warm wooden huts and tents, can use showers and toilets in sanitary areas, and can also use children's centers including classrooms.
Lindsay Carr learned about the camp through volunteer work with refugees, saying that her company's access to technology means they can bring about a change for the 150 children attending the center.
"These children are not at their own fault and are forced to leave their homes, and many of them have lost or separated from their families," she explains . ".
"We want to use our skills and experience to find an innovative but practical way to help these kids, not just donations.
"I want us to find a way to provide educational support that recognizes the unstructured and often destructive lives that children live.
"The digital classroom will provide English, math and French courses for children of different ages and abilities.
The participation of the equator is different from the regular role of Glasgow in providing digital and creative services to well
Well-known people in business including banks, automakers and hotel groups.
James Jefferson, chief creative officer at the equator, said: "We are very excited about this project, which will ensure that every child in the camp is educated and creates the possibility to change all their lives.
"We also hope that the Dunkirk classroom may be a pilot of an initiative that can be promoted in other camps to prevent a lack of education for displaced children.
