TeenTech Cardiff Festival: Create Your Future Live Virtual Event

This session is open to as many students as you like in Years 5 – 6 (Primary) and Years 7 – 9 (Secondary)

TeenTech Cardiff 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.

Upfront of the festival we will run a live virtual innovation session, on the topic of future technology, 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 working in contemporary industry and will feature guests showcasing exciting aspects of their work. The livestream could be viewed from a screen in several classrooms, or large hall if appropriate. Students can interact by submitting questions throughout the live stream. These questions come through to the TeenTech team, who send them through 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 Cardiff Festival on Thursday 7th December at the All Nations Centre in Cardiff where they will receive feedback from industry experts and participate in a series of lively challenges and activities which bring the world of science and technology to life.
