Wearable technology is changing our world. From watches that monitor health to smart glasses that provide guidance for remote experts - the possibilities are endless! Today, scientists, technologists, engineers and designers are working on new solutions that will improve health, sports, the workplace and our everyday lives. Bob Flint, Technology Director at BP, is driving the use of technology across the business, particularly to enhance safety. You can hear from Bob at this year’s New Scientist Live on the Human Stage at 10:45 on 10th October. But what will wearable tech of the future look like? The answer to this is in the hands of 9 to 14-year olds as part of this year’s BP Ultimate STEM Challenge - an annual nationwide competition launched by BP in collaboration with STEM Learning to boost STEM engagement across schools. It’s designed to help young people develop their creativity, problem-solving skills and employability by tackling real-world challenges. We invite students this year to design a piece of wearable tech that will improve lives in the future. Teachers will receive everything they need for students to take part, including information on the latest advancements in wearable tech, videos, teacher notes and worksheets to guide the design process. The competition is linked to the science, computing and design and technology curricula and it’s free! Lucky winners will take part in a hackathon where STEM experts will help bring their ideas to life! The Ultimate STEM Challenge will be launched on the BP Educational Service website bit.ly/BPESHome from September – register now for updates. BP Educational Service is the place to go if you’re a primary or secondary school teacher looking for free resources that engage students in real-world science and help inspire them to pursue a future in STEM.
