Upfront of the festival we will run a live virtual innovation session, on the topic of Technology to Change the World, 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 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 will come up with their 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 DMU Festival on Tuesday 8th December at De Montfort University 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.
