THE NDS RED BUTTON CHALLENGE 2013 IS OFF AND RUNNING

Students and teachers were at NDS’s offices in Staines, Surrey this morning to hear about this year’s challenge. This is the third challenge to be run by computer software giant NDS. Over the next five months, the teams will work with their mentors - NDS professionals – to produce concepts for an app for use with smartphone, iPad or laptop to make watching TV more enjoyable, interesting and exciting. The students will learn about product development and marketing. And, may even get to try their hand at some code-writing.

While at NDS, students and teachers were also shown some of the amazing yet-to-come-to-market ideas that NDS have produced. The sort of things you will be using with your TV at home in coming years.

Open to Years 7-11, there is still room for a couple more teams. If you would like to enter, do contact us at SATRO. It is free to enter – with cash prizes. Email julia@satro.org.uk or call 01483 226322.
