#TECHOGNITION 2022
On 4th March 2022, hundreds of schools across the UK took part in #TECHOGNITION week to celebrate the work of school and college technicians.
Over a thousand photos were uploaded to our Event Gallery during the week and more than 12,000 Tweets containing the #TECHOGNITION hashtag were shared on Twitter with hundreds more photos uploaded to Facebook and Instagram.
Thank you to UNISON who sponsored the 2022 event.
