It’s time to register for the 2015 TeenTech Awards.

Now in their third successful year, they are open to young people aged 11-16 ,in teams of up to three, the challenge is to look at the world and share ideas on how to make life better, simpler or easier.

Category winners take home £1000 for their school and have the opportunity to share their idea with HRH Duke of York and leading experts in science and technology. The final judging day is held at the Royal Society in London and the winners are invited to a special presentation at Buckingham Palace.

This year one of our sponsors will also work with the students who have the most marketable or commercial idea to see if it can be turned into a real product which will be sold in their stores with all profits going to the school.
