Inspiring young technological talent: Connecting Unite! and high schools for social good
The matchmaking event Inspiring Young Technological Talent is an interactive hybrid session designed to foster collaboration between Unite! universities and secondary schools. This event spotlighted different socially committed technological projects created by university students, to inspire the development of collaborative projects that engage high school students in STEAM fields while addressing societal challenges. During the event, students from different European universities will present their projects to secondary school teachers and administrators. Our aim is to inspire collaborations between Unite! alliance universities and high schools from nine European countries. The ultimate goal is to encourage scientific-technological vocations with social and community impact.
