We’re very excited about our East London event. As always we’ll be bringing together young teenagers and the tech companies keenĀ to explain what it takesĀ to be part of their world. TeenTechCity will take place in London’s newest event space, Cisco House Ā – which is being built on top of Westfield overlooking the Olympic Park
Exhibitors will include some of theĀ most innovative companies in East London ā suchĀ as Glass Eye, PavegenĀ and Sugru alongsideĀ the BBC, BT, Atkins, Thames Water, LondonĀ Underground and Thomson Reuters. In all, overĀ 20 companies, from global to start-up will beĀ bringing their shiniest technology and their bestĀ engineers and scientists.
Teenagers from 15 schools across East London will experience a day of activities and experiments.
We’ll be running informal sessions with teachers, entrepreneurs and business leaders to share practical examples of what helps to inspire and enthuse young people.
Ian Foddering , CTO Cisco explained why they were so keen to support the event. “It is essential for organisations and the British economy that we address the shortcomings in IT skills, while assisting students to maximise their potential. One way Cisco is looking to do this is by investing in STEM awareness, such as TeenTech and “out of the blocks” helping students, teachers and parents to think differently about ICT in particular. Exciting and enthusing people about the amazing diversity and long term career opportunities that existing in this rewarding and stimulatingĀ industry.”
Michaele Hawkins, from ELBA says , “TheĀ East London Business Alliance is delighted to be working in partnership with TeenTech. Ā This is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the opportunities that exist in the world of science and technology to the young people we work with across East London as well as to showcase the innovative work of some of our member companies to a wider audience.”
