At Commvault, caring is not just something we say. It is something we act on every day.
Over the years, we have been so proud to have partnered with TeenTech, a UK-based educational charity for students aged 11–19. Teams of up to three students design and build tech products that solve real-world problems, then present them to a panel of industry judges.
We recently had the honor of attending the TeenTech Awards in London, where students from across the UK showcased the kind of creativity and problem-solving that gives us real hope for the future.
What made the day so meaningful was watching our people show up for each other. Vaulters from across the UK have supported TeenTech throughout our partnership – from building educational games and reviewing dozens of student projects, to volunteering their time on the big finals day.
This kind of commitment brings together Vaulters from different parts of our business and creates new connections along the way.
The innovation on display at the TeenTech Awards this year was unmatched. Here are a few of the standout ideas from the finalists:
- A path toward treating Parkinson’s disease. One team proposed an approach for supporting patients earlier in the disease’s progression and explained the science behind it with real clarity.
- A safer way to get from A to B. Another team rebuilt a navigation app around a “safest route” option, prioritizing personal safety alongside speed and distance.
- A smart bandage that watches wounds heal. One finalist team designed a bandage that produces a hydrogel to support recovery and pairs with an app to track healing progress.
- A fencing panel built to cut emissions. A fourth team proposed attaching zeolite panels to farm fencing as a simple way to help reduce agricultural emissions.
TeenTech gives young people a runway into STEM careers they might never have considered. Continuing to invest in the next generation of innovators matters, and we’re honored that Commvault gets to play a part in this journey.
