Scotsoft 2021 – October 7th 2021

The Scotsoft 2021 conference is on the 7^th October and they have several sessions throughout the day aimed at parents, teachers and young people to try and inform them of the career possibilities for the next generation in the tech industry, and the help/support and skills required for these roles.

ScotSoft is the leading tech conference in Scotland and has been running for more than 20 years. It’s an annual festival of ideas and innovation that showcases the best of the Scottish technology sector and brings you sought after speakers from far flung locations.

This year there is an Education stream, aimed at informing parents, educators and young people of the career possibilities available in the tech industry. These sessions look to promote this sector to the future generation of talent and offer more information on what roles they might be suited to and the skills required.

Sessions in the Education stream include:

• Code your own Data Selfie – an interactive data science activity to learn about data visualisation and how data can be used to create art.
• A Day in the Life in Tech – four videos will show a day in the life of tech employees in some of Scotland’s key tech companies, and will highlight the different pathways that can be taken to get into these roles.
• Meet the Expert: Space Technology – an opportunity to find out more about the exciting careers in Space and what it’s like to work in this field.

Any parents or educators that would be interested in these sessions or streaming these for children and young people, please sign up to join on Thursday 7th October.

You will also have access to the full agenda of our ScotSoft conference, if you are interested in hearing from our range of world-renowned industry speakers.
