BBC Connected Studio - Coding for Teenagers
Description
The UK is facing a severe skills shortage in the technology sector and the BBC wants to work with partners to help change that. We want to inspire Britain’s next generation of storytellers, problem solvers and entrepreneurs to get involved with technology and unlock the enormous creative potential it offers, both for each individual and for all corners of UK industry.

The BBC Connected Studio team is offering digital agencies, tech start-ups and developers an exciting opportunity. Connected Studio invites partners like these (and maybe like you?), from inside and outside of the BBC to work together collaboratively on a digital brief. The winning ideas could be selected for development into working prototypes and end up being commissioned using BBC investment. More information and the reasons for coming up with this challenge are outlined in the development brief on the Connected Studio website.
