What teachers say:

The real value of the TeenTech Awards is that all it requires is interest, imagination, thought, commitment and time but not, crucially, expensive material resources. They are a powerful way to challenge the STEM stereotype and are incredibly effective a reaching students who do not fit that stereotype, Teacher, Rutland

TeenTech is giving these children the chance to explore and develop ideas to a far greater extent than they ever could within the constraints of the curriculum. This combined with a young person’s fearless, unrestrained imagination means we’re seeing some genuine solutions to genuine problems being produced. It’s all so incredibly inspiring” Teacher, Kent
