The #DigiInventors Secondary School Challenge invites S1-S6 pupils to design digital solutions to real-world health and wellbeing issues. Working in teams, pupils research, innovate and pitch their ideas, developing STEM, creativity and problem-solving skills along the way. Finalists attend an entrepreneurial bootcamp, gain Young STEM Leader accreditation, and compete for prizes including iPads and the #DigiInventors Trophy.
Delivered by the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre with leading partners, pupils take part in a structured competition, from identifying a challenge to pitching their idea. Finalists are invited to a two-day entrepreneurial bootcamp before presenting to industry experts at the Grand Final.
