Although there’s growing recognition that engineering should be ethically principled and socially/environmentally responsible, the views of young people are rarely collected and included in this debate. The TeenTethics project will connect engineers with teenage innovators from across the UK. Together they will explore the ethics of decision-making and trade-offs that occur during engineering and tech innovation.
Run by Award-winning charity TeenTech (CEO Maggie Philbin OBE) and supported by STEM engagement specialists Scientia Scripta, the project will give mid-career and early-career engineers support and confidence to share personal stories about ethical innovation dilemmas in an engaging and powerful way through both virtual and in school TeenTethic Days.
