TECgirls Launches Groundbreaking Cornwall Student Report at London Tech Week

TECgirls, as part of TECwomen CIC, is proud to launch a landmark report at London Tech Week, revealing powerful new insights into how Year 9 students across Cornwall perceive technology, engineering, and creativity (TEC) in relation to their futures. This research, conducted with 651 students across six schools, offers a candid look at their interests, aspirations, and confidence in key innovation-driven subjects. The findings paint a clear picture: Cornwall’s young people have potential but need stronger inspiration, better information, and broader access to thrive in TEC careers.
