Unbelievable tech-ers.
The CultureTECH festival, now in its fourth year, will run from the September 12 all the way through until September 20 in a 9 day-long celebration of all things digital.
Over 15,000 school children will take part in events across the week, including a ‘huge science stage show at the Millennium Forum.’
CultureTECH’s main attractions serve to highlight just why the festival has become the largest family-friendly technology events in Ireland and the UK.
The first two days of the festival will involve a two-day Star Wars convention called Invasion Derry, as well as a weekend-long event focused on digital creativity and comic art.
The festival’s events are largely geared towards fostering digital creativity.
CultureTECH also includes three days of Minecraft gaming events, live racing in electric carts built by local primary schools and DojoCon, the annual global conference for the CoderDojo community.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Mark Nagurski from CultureTECH said that, “the aim of CultureTECH has always been to make technology fun and accessible so it’s not surprising that it’s families and the young people have really taken it to their hearts. You can really see that influence in the 2015 programme; everything is about getting hands-on with technology and having fun. So if you know any kids that are into video games, robots and rockets – make sure they get down.”
