Young Women in Tech

Partners: Burberry/Verizon

Implementation:

We were delighted to welcome students from Kensington Aldridge Academy for an inspiring day of learning and innovation.

The day began with an engaging panel of guest speakers from Burberry and Verizon, who shared their career journeys and highlighted exciting opportunities for young women in the tech industry.

Students explored Verizon’s cutting-edge 5G tech hub and gained valuable insights into the role of sustainability in shaping the future of retail.

As part of the challenge, each participant was tasked with creating and pitching a sustainable fashion brand that incorporates emerging technologies, and they presented their ideas to our panel of industry experts at the end of the day.

Impact:

We were incredibly impressed by the creativity and ambition shown by the students. Their innovative ideas left us inspired, and we’re excited to see where their journeys take them next. One student told us:

“I loved seeing all the unique and creative things you can do with technology and how the world can be changed little by little by incorporating this style of tech in everyday life.

It helped me develop my soft skills and understand more about fast fashion”.
