TeenTech City of Tomorrow
· TeenTech is a national charity working with school children to help them consider a future in digital, science technology and engineering.
· Their TeenTech City of Tomorrow initiative is working with nine Coventry schools with the help of WMG, University of Warwick
· Experts from WMG will deliver advice to children on sustainable materials, and inspire them as they design and build their city of the future out of recyclable household items
· A few Cities will then be exhibited at The Coventry Transport Museum
As it’s ‘Cities, Regions and Built Environment’ day at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, researchers from WMG at the University of Warwick are helping children understand sustainability and its importance, by delivering an online session about sustainable materials and why it’s important we use them more for a greener future, thanks to funding from the University’s Innovative Manufacturing and Future Materials GRP.
