TeenTech Team: Masterclasses Live Events
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. The students will be able to watch this session either in school, with you, or you can share the joining link directly with them (via your internal school platforms), so they can watch from home. They will be able to submit questions, safely, throughout the live event.
