TeenTech Team: Masterclasses Live Events
Join us for our TeenTech Masterclass Live session, where a real-world app developer will show students how to create their own interactive mobile app using tools such as Appy Pie. Through a fun app-making project, students will learn how to navigate and use the software and app development fundamentals. This session is designed for complete beginners, with no coding experience required. Please note that this is a two-part course, so please register for the first session too.

The TeenTech Milton Keynes Festival will bring together schools and colleges 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 AI and Innovation. 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 Milton Keynes Festival on Wednesday 3rd July 2024 (at the South Central Institute of Technology), 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. During this introductory session, experts will join us to tell us about their exciting work on Augmented Reality projects. We will cover the latest developments in Augmented Reality and the Metaverse. This session will inspire and excite students about this technology's potential and demonstrate how related technologies (AI, Machine Learning, sensors and data) can enhance an AR experience. We will also take students behind the scenes of Bloc Digital. This creative studio creates AR, VR and Mixed Reality applications, and they will explain the key differences between these technologies and the experiences they offer. Following on from the success of our previous Top Tips sessions, we will be holding a workshop for TeenTech Awards finalists to help them prepare for the TeenTech Awards finals judging day. We will talk the students and teachers through what to expect on the day and how they can best prepare. We will talk through what the students need to do upfront of the final too. The students will be able to submit questions throughout the session that we will answer live on air. 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. Industry experts will discuss the challenges of designing in Augmented Reality and the considerations for different hardware forms (phones, tablets, headsets). We will introduce design concepts, including mood boards, video/text, triggers and the considerations for interactions within Augmented Reality experiences, including gestures and controls. Our presenter will showcase software students can use to visualise their ideas and create wireframes for their AR applications. We will also speak to a UX/UI Designer about her role in creating AR experiences. Do you want to learn how to design products and services that are good for people and the planet? Do you want to discover the principles and practices of ethical design that respect human rights, reduce environmental impact and create positive social change? Then join us for our TeenTech Create Your Future Live session on Sustainable and Ethical Design. You will hear from inspiring designers making a difference in the world with their sustainable and ethical solutions. They'll share their tips and challenge you to think creatively and critically about the role of design in shaping a better future. Don’t miss this chance to explore the art and science of ethical design. Our industry experts will talk about prototyping for Augmented Reality. What tools do they use? How do teams collaborate, and what are the roles and skills required during this phase? Our presenter will take students through a comprehensive demonstration of AR prototyping software, showing them how they can create their own AR application with working interactions, 2D/3D models, sound/music and more. We will also meet a 3D Modeller who will talk about his role in creating AR experiences. The TeenTech Festival is a sharply focussed event that changes perceptions and helps students understand their own potential. It’s a day that changes minds – especially those who may never have previously considered a career in science or technology! Schools can bring a group of ten students who have taken part in the virtual event on Tuesday 6th February. They will bring their project to the TeenTech Festival on Thursday 20th June 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. During this live wrap-up session, our industry experts will be on hand to answer any questions that students have come up with during the programme, discuss careers and entry points, and share their next steps and top tips! We will also meet a Unity Developer who will talk about his role in writing code for AR experiences. We'll also showcase some additional projects to inspire students about the future of AR.
