My Smarter Essex

Could your students design and build a city for the future using just their imagination and a mobile phone?

CSES, in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University and Essex County Council, is pleased to announce an exciting and interactive event – My Smarter Essex – where students and teachers will be able to understand, explore and simulate how their requirements and preferences can influence the design of a Future Essex.

The event is free to attend and will cover subjects of interest and relevance to students' core and extended curriculum topics.

Refreshments will be provided and there will be the opportunity to meet with exhibitors from local industry, and to discuss further education and career options in an informal setting with undergraduates and employers.

Registration is now closed.

The event will take place at Anglia Ruskin University in the Postgraduate Medical Institute exhibition area and lecture theatre.
