Nominations for the Tech4Good Awards are now open, with a closing date of 10 May. Please see information below. 

The BT Young Pioneer Award, open to 9-18 year olds, recognises young people who are doing amazing things with digital technology to solve problems they care about.  We’ve seen incredible innovations in past years – many involving Raspberry Pis. Last year’s winning Water Watcher was based on a Micro:Bit and is now in development with a water saving company. 

This year we are including £5000 for the winner to help them buy the tech they need to scale up their project, as well as a session with BT experts to help them develop their ideas. All of the finalists will receive tickets to explore Bletchley Park, the home of the WWII codebreakers.  More information and the online application form is at: https://www.tech4goodawards.com/enter-now/youngpioneer/
