TeenTech Roehampton Festival 2027 Virtual Innovation Live Event

This session is open to as many students as you like in Years 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12

TeenTech Roehampton will bring together schools and colleges across the region for an exciting interactive programme that will help young people understand the range of opportunities across digital, science and technology and the many different entry points.

Ahead of the festival, we will run a live virtual innovation session, after which students will work in teams to create a project to make life better, simpler, easier, or more fun.

This session is open to as many students as you like. This could be an entire class, or year group.

This will be an hour-long morning session, online, with guest contributors from contemporary industry, showcasing exciting aspects of their work. The livestream can be viewed from a screen in several classrooms, or a large hall if appropriate. Students can interact by submitting questions throughout the livestream. These questions come to the TeenTech team, who pass them on to the presenters to ask on-screen. Students are then set an innovation challenge, where they build their own solutions to address real-world problems connected to the session topic.

Schools can then bring a group of ten students who have taken part in this event, to the TeenTech Roehampton Festival on Thursday 22nd April 2027 at the University of Roehampton, where they will receive feedback from industry experts and participate in a series of lively challenges and activities that bring the world of science and technology to life.
