Teen Tech - Teenagers meet science, engineering and technology.

The energy in the room is amazing. The kids and their teachers are sucking up everything the industry geeks are throwing at them. There seems to be just the right balance between sat down thinking and hands on experimenting.

It's mostly the latter.

When I walked in, the 'Ideas Fountain' was empty apart from a QR code hinting towards the day's activities. Now it's crammed with post-it notes, all holding ideas, inventions and innovations from the minds of the teenagers attending.

From voice activated toilets to metal detecting phones. There's also an unhealthy smattering of jetpack related inventions floating round.

Who knows.. Perhaps one of these guys will go on to develop the first commercially available commuter jetpack. Looking at the ideas faling out of their minds and into the conversations at this Teen Tech Event I wouldn't be surprised if when they do, it has lasers on it.
