Workshop

Technology for Everything - Assembly 1

In this virtual live assembly on 8 July 2025, Tech She Can will inspire your students by showing them how technology can bring together their skills and interests.

Technology for Everything - Assembly 1

Do your students know how technology can inspire people, enhance their creativity or even help them communicate?

Tech for Everything Assembly 1 is the first assembly in a brand-new series for Year 7 students. The assembly focuses on the subjects of English, Languages, Music, Art and Drama.

Join Tech She Can on Tuesday 8 July 9:30am, when their Tech She Can Teacher, Louise, will deliver a free virtual 25 minute Tech We Can LIVE assembly. The content of this assembly has been developed for Year 7 students, but is suitable for students aged 10-13.

Starting secondary school means that students have a fantastic opportunity to study subjects in more depth and in dedicated lessons, but it can also mean that the links between subjects become less visible to them. Through this assembly, we will open your students’ eyes to how technology can bring together their skills and interests from different subjects, and also highlight some of the exciting future technology careers available.

Students do not need any resources to participate. The content is ideal in the classroom environment, hall or from home.
