This Thursday afternoon (15^th September), we’re hosting a very exciting event at Central Foundation Girls’ School in Tower Hamlets. We can’t tell you too much about it just yet, but it will see several of the world’s leading technology companies launch a series of initiatives to inspire young people to study Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. The event, which will kick off at 15:30, will also showcase some of the latest innovations coming out of Tech City and the potential of technology as a career path to local students.

More than 50 students will participate alongside the companies and local Tech City organisations. STEM skills are critical to the future success of the UK economy, and we hope that by showcasing both local innovation and global technologies, students will be encouraged to consider careers in the technology and digital industry.

We’re really looking forward to the event – and will of course have all the news and updates from it from Thursday afternoon onwards. To keep up to date with the news as it happens, keep an eye on the Tech City website and Twitter feed, and make sure that you follow #techcityevent for all updates and live chat.
