Tech4Good Awards 2018 | Business in the Community Northern Ireland

AbilityNet’s Tech4Good Awards 2018, supported by BT, are now open

AbilityNet’s Tech4Good Awards 2018, supported by BT, are now open to award those who have inspired and used digital technology to improve the lives of others.

The Awards celebrate the companies, charities and individuals that use the empowering influence of digital technology – whether it’s at home, at work, in education – to benefit the community.

BT and AbilityNet use the awards to identify and nurture ideas and individuals. The launch included past winners of the BT awards, who thanks in part to their involvement in the Tech4Good awards, have gone on to become some of the UK’s brightest tech-talent.

The awards include BT Connected Society Award and the BT Young Pioneer Award for those aged under 18. BT will be providing prizes for the winners including mentoring support for the winners of the BT Connected Society Award.

The winners of last year’s BT Young Pioneer award were two 15 year old inventors, Kiera McKillop and Sinead McKeown, from St Killian’s College in Northern Ireland, who invented Dyslexic Aid, a multi-sensory learning technology for children with all forms of dyslexia.
