This Top Tips for Teachers session will tell you everything you need to know about running the TeenTech Awards successfully within your school. Do invite and ask colleagues who may cover subjects like maths, art, music, geography, media as well as science, D&T and computing to register as they will find categories which will inspire their students too!

Learn about the deadlines and milestones for the TeenTech Awards 2024, get tips on how to run ideation sessions within your school, and learn about mentor support available to all schools taking part.

This Top Tips for Students session will cover all the questions students have about the TeenTech Awards, including how to come up with and develop great ideas, where to take inspiration from, how to write the innovation log, whether they need to produce a prototype, and how to get help to support their ideas. We will also look at examples of previous ideas and innovation logs. The TeenTech Awards categories are wide-ranging. Whether you’re interested in science, media, art, music or technology – you’ll find inspiring ways to develop your interest and build a network for the future.

They will be able to submit questions, safely, throughout the live event.
