Pupils from ten north Essex secondary schools have been converging on Colchester Institute.
They have been discovering the wealth of job opportunities which exist in the world of technology.
The youngsters have attended workshops which form part of the annual Opportunities in Technology event which is organised by local leaders in education and business and sponsored by Essex Tec.
The event coincides with National Science Engineering and Technology Week which has seen pupils involved in technology projects.
