TeenTech Sussex 2025 Festival Virtual Innovation Live – Future Technology

This session is open to as many students as you like in Years 8-9

The TeenTech Sussex Festival will bring together schools across the region for an exciting, interactive programme to help young people understand the range of opportunities in digital, science, and technology, as well as the various entry points.

Upfront of the in-person festival, we will host this virtual TeenTech Innovation Live event, after which students will work in teams to create a project that makes life better, simpler, easier, or more fun on the topic of Future Technology.

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, held online, featuring guest contributors from contemporary industry who will showcase exciting aspects of their work. The livestream could be viewed from a screen in several classrooms or a large hall if appropriate. Students can interact by submitting questions throughout the live stream. These questions are safely received by the TeenTech team, who then 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 Sussex Festival on Thursday 27th November 2025 (at the Amex Stadium), where they will receive feedback from experts and also participate in a series of lively challenges and activities which bring the world of science and technology to life.
