Sentinus is delighted to announce the return of our exciting Digital Futures programme to schools in Northern Ireland, with an opportunity for the winning team and their teacher to win a trip to New York City, visiting some of the world’s biggest tech companies.
Digital Futures will engage young people in hands on activities to help them understand how digital media and, in particular, computer programming now underpins business development and success both in Northern Ireland and internationally.
Digital Futures workshops, delivered by Sentinus, provide a platform for young people at Key Stage 3 to generate innovative business ideas and introduce them to the concept of using digital products to support the growth and development of their business. Over a period of 6 – 10 weeks, working in teams of up to four students (Year 9) and with support from an industry advisor, students will develop their business concept and present their ideas to panels of experts at a regional semi-final (13th June 2024 at PWC Belfast) with the top six teams progressing to compete in the Northern Ireland Final at the in September 2024.
The winning team will travel to New York City, where they will visit internationally recognised technology companies, such as Meta, Google and Youtube.
