Tales from Tech - what does it mean?

What does it mean to tell tales from tech?

If you look up ‘tech tales’ in the dictionary, here is what you’ll get:
An inspiring, educational and eye-opening talk relating to a technical topic told in a simple, ordinary and understandable language.

So, we are looking for the most tech savvy people at VIA University College, who can tell a tech tale that is catchy, innovative, and relevant for the public so that EVERYBODY understands the purpose and potential of the tech topic.

We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to take part in the debate about new technologies and how they are utilized. This requires a shared language without implied tech terms or, even worse, abbreviations of such implied terms.

Thus, we want to celebrate the people that master simple, inclusive language that outlines a complex topic; we are celebrating the tech tales!
