The Create stage is the final stage of the students’ TICE experience. Each student has three days to complete one industry-led project of their choice. The three days are non-consecutive and are resourced and planned in close coordination with the schools and the TICE Team. The different projects are sponsored by a wide variety of our supporters, from regional companies to colleges and universities, and are mentored by the TICE team. The CREATE stage is an opportunity for TICE students to work closely alongside business professionals, while at the same time gaining specialist advice, guidance and skills.

Each student is supported to produce an outstanding piece of work with the help of their mentor and sponsoring company so they can present or perform their work at the TICE Final Showcase event. The projects are facilitated around the region in a variety of diverse venues, from music studios and theatres to university departments and design studios. Designed by the TICE mentors, each of the three days is structured so that students have every opportunity to complete their projects to a high standard.
