In six action-packed television episodes Generation Genome takes its young audience on a thrilling exploration of cutting-edge science, placing them at the centre of a debate about genetics and genomic health and the impact it will have on their future lives. Content is aligned to the science curriculum for 13 to 16 year olds.

Join us virtually alongside thousands of other young people from schools all around the world to watch the launch episode and take part in a lively debate with a panel of world leading scientists and young people.

You’ll also find out how to access the whole series and a range of accompanying teaching and learning resources - all free and offered on an open access basis.

The series was made by KMTV Creative Productions in collaboration with world-leading researchers at the University of Kent and the British Film Institute. It was coproduced with hundreds of young people aged thirteen to sixteen, located at schools across the UK together with scientists and subject experts.

We are thrilled that Wellcome Connecting Science is hosting the launch. Wellcome Connecting Science’s mission is to enable everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society.
