TeenTech

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 across digital, science and technology, and the many different entry points. Upfront of the in-person TeenTech Festival event, we will run this virtual TeenTech Innovation Live session on Future Technology. This session is open to as many students as you like. This could be an entire class or year group. This session is online with guest contributors working in contemporary industry. 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 live stream; these questions come to the TeenTech team, who sends them to the presenter to ask on screen. Students are then set an innovation challenge, where they will devise 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 Wednesday 13th November 2024 (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.
