The Festival day

The Festival is a day that inspires young people and challenges their perceptions about future careers. Designed for Year 8 or Year 9 students, who will work alongside over 150 scientists ,engineers and people working in technology, completing  hands on activities, challenges and experiments which help them see how much they might enjoy working in these sectors.

Impact

This vibrant event brings technology and engineering to life and develops long lasting relationships. Schools who attend are encouraged to enter the TeenTech Awards and teams from this region have not only made it through to the final at The Royal Society but have won their categories and been invited to Buckingham Palace!

In 2018 one young TeenTech student from this event was invited to represent the UK in the USA as runner up Young Engineer of the year.
