Technology is all around us, but sometimes it‘s difficult to understand what a career in the tech industry might be like – the Schools Challenge gave school children an insight into the industry. By focusing on ‘Tech for Good’ – the participating schools developed an innovative tech-based solution that addressed a real life problem that could help them and the world they live in!The students created posters which explained their inventions and submitted them to the regional industry expert panel for feedback and judging!
Submissions from across the North East local authority areas were selected by the committee and invited to a celebration event on the morning of Tuesday 18 June, in Durham City Centre, during the week of TechNExt festival.
