CTRL ALT DEL Conversations 
 Workshops

The Ctrl Alt Del Conversations workshops will bring the conversation about inclusive innovation to young people in Cornwall. In our first series of events, we will start the conversations around gender gaps and why organisations like TECgirls exist.  

​

These topics will be introduced through a mix of interactive talks and a wider presentation. We will also have a chance for kids to take part in some quizzes and earn some prizes. 

We will then move on to the topic of how innovation is better when it is inclusive. We will showcase some case studies of companies that have created more diverse products for the world.

Finally, we will give them a chance to work together in mixed groups to develop their own ideas for inclusive innovation.
