๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Technology is shaping the future, but girls remain underrepresented in many areas of the sector.

The TechFirst Girls' Competition aims to help change that.

Open to girls aged 12-13 across the UK, the free online competition introduces participants to cyber security, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and quantum technologies through a series of fun and engaging challenges. No previous technical knowledge or coding experience is required.

Girls can take part individually or as part of a team, developing problem-solving skills while discovering the exciting opportunities that a career in technology can offer.

If you're a teacher, school or education professional working with S2 pupils in Scotland (or the equivalent year group across the UK), find out more and get involved ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŒ How can a Master's project help tackle a real-world sustainability challenge?

For MSc Geotechnical Engineering student Emir Tashbaev, it meant working with Dundee engineering company RADIX to develop a carbon calculator capable of measuring the whole-life embodied carbon of foundation systems.

Using real-world case studies, the research found that RADIX screw pile foundations had a lower overall carbon impact than equivalent concrete solutions, while providing the company with a practical tool to support future projects.

The collaboration has helped RADIX better compare the environmental impact of different foundation options, while giving Emir the opportunity to apply his expertise to a live industry challenge with real-world value.

More than 50 pupils from schools across Tayside got hands-on with the future of technology at Abertay University as part of the 2026 Ada Scotland Festival ๐ŸŽฎ

From practical workshops and industry talks to a careers fair and conversations with current students, the Dundee Schools Hub Games and Cyber Day gave pupils the chance to explore the many routes into games, computing and cyber security.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring the day to life, including our supporters Robertson Construction Tayside, NinjaKiwi and NCR Atleos.
