Experts

• Help young problem solvers to unleash their creative potential
• Show students how skills from the classroom transfer into the real world
• Be an inspiring role model for students from diverse backgrounds

Our Experts represent all areas of business and tech, forming a community of 1100+ volunteers who help young people bring their new product ideas to life.

Industry Experts volunteer their time by dialing into classrooms for one-hour sessions to advise and support teams of students through the creation and development of their problem-solving apps, IoT and machine learning projects.

Expert volunteers advise on many areas of tech product development, including:

• Idea screening
• Target users and market insights
• User experience
• Marketing and social media
• Pitching and public speaking
• Technical and data feasibility
• Coding and web development
• Internet of Things
• Machine learning algorithms

Most sessions are organised via Skype, so Experts can volunteer from anywhere!

• You don’t need to be ‘techie’ - so long as you have an understanding of how your expertise supports new product development
• Ideally, you have some professional experience in one of the areas above
• You can do one session per year or one per week – it’s up to you
