Digital Day Winners 2019
The ideas have been dissected. The judges have deliberated. And the winners of Digital Day’s Sponsor Challenges are…
One day last November, more than 5,000 young people were given an insight into the world of tech and digital by industry. You could practically see the lightbulbs flicking on as we told them about our work and the possibilities of a career in digital. And then, we set them to work on our Sponsor Challenges, which were set by industry.
Devised by BBC Studios, The FA and Vodafone, each challenge gave teams a chance to put their ideas to the test – and the responses were brilliant. We took the top submissions and set our judges the task of selecting the very best in each challenge. Each winning team receives £500 for their schools and a day with a Challenge Partner for their team.
