Its now three years in a row for TeenTech at the KC stadium and it’s always a delight to work alongside the Humberside team with such keen and enthusiastic students. It’s not only the students who walk away enthused – companies were impressed by the level of skill many students brought to the competitions and challenges including designing new characters for games. (The rights to the characters remain with the students – after all they may have come up with the next Lara Croft)
Huge thanks to all the wonderful organisations who came along to run activities and engage with our Students, including:
BP/Heta, TIR, University of Hull, Sheffield University, YorHub, Hobson and Porter, Novartis, Bishop Burton College, Jackson Civils, Society of Dyers and Colourists, Virtual Education Experience, Grimsby Institute, ICE, York University, Leeds University, Croda, JVC, IT@Spectrum, KCOM, ECITB, Alcrest Academy, Dakeyne Photography, Active Robots, Savilles, William Jackson Food Group, NAS, HETA , BBC, Birse, Samsung and the Express Group.
