Tech Careers with UNICEF UK

What you'll learn:

This session introduces students to modern technology careers through a relatable, semi‑casual delivery: real stories, interactive polls, and a hands‑on team challenge. It also helps students prepare for the future (2026→2030): how AI changes work, why digital safety matters, and which skills stay valuable across job titles:

Through hands-on session, students can:

• Explain what tech jobs are like day‑to‑day (not just coding).
• Name and describe key roles in a tech team and how they collaborate.
• Understand “future‑ready” skills for 2026+ (AI literacy, data thinking, safety, communication).
• Leave with clear next steps and a simple portfolio challenge to prove skills.

This workshop welcomes students from Year 9 to 11

No more than 20 students per class.
