We’re looking for Year 9+ students (14+) to step up, disrupt the status quo and show the island what real innovation looks like. This isn’t just a workshop; it’s a two-day race to build the future.\nThe Challenge\nForget textbooks. You’ll be tasked with tackling Jersey’s biggest real-world issues. Working in teams of 2-4, you will:\n\nIdentify the Gap: Pinpoint where current solutions are failing.\nBuild the Prototype: Move beyond ideas and build a working tech solution.\nThe Big Pitch: Present your vision to a panel of industry heavyweights\n\nWhy Join?\n\nIndustry Access – Connect with tech professionals from Jersey\nFuture Skills – Build skills in coding, design thinking and teamwork\nHands-on Experience – Create and launch a prototype in just 2 days\nPrizes – Awards for categories such as creativity, technical achievement and overall impact\n\nYou won’t be doing this alone. You’ll have backstage access to industry professionals from Prosperity 24/7 and Digital Jersey. They aren’t there to lecture you they’re your consultants, helping you refine your tech and sharpen your pitch for the real world.\nThe Question is simple: The adults have had their say.
