About this event

Science & Tech • High Tech

A two-day Hackathon for young people, part of Norwich Science Festival. The Techathon lets young people aged 8 to 18 explore the possibilities of technology in an informal and creative environment. Over the course of two days, each team takes on one of our challenges, trying out ideas, finding out what works and what doesn’t.

It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded people, expert mentors and even potential future employers. It’s a fun-packed event with the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends and even win prizes. Find out more in our FAQs (below). For any additional queries email hello@stepintotech.org.

If your child is 12 or under, you must accompany them to the Techathon. Participants aged 13 or over can attend on their own, provided we have details of an emergency contact. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to attend the initial introductory session and the final show-and-tell / prize-giving!

Tickets for the two-day event cost a maximum of £15, and include lunch, snacks and refreshments on both days.
