<h3>Share your children's work</h3>After watching the animation, please share your children’s creative ideas with us on social media using #TechWeCan, or email them to us at <a href="mailto:info@techshecan.org">info@techshecan.org</a>

Autonomous shops are shops without any checkouts. Customers walk in, pick up the items they’d like to buy and simply walk out. An app on the customer’s phone, along with special sensors placed all around the store, detect what the customer picks up from the shelves and also if they put something back again. When the customer leaves the store, the app calculates the total price of the products they’ve collected, sends them a notification and then charges their bank. There are therefore no queues and no checkouts in the shop. Some companies call this technology ‘WiWo’ which stands for ‘Walk in. Walk Out’. Autonomous shops already exist in the UK and the adoption of this type of shopping experience is set to grow in the coming years.&nbsp;<h3>The challenge</h3>Here’s a follow-up creative challenge you can set for children to complete after watching the animation on autonomous shopping:&nbsp;Next time you’re out shopping, what technology can you see in shops and how is it used? We’d like you to create a poster, drawing pictures of the technology you see in shops and explaining what it does (ask an adult if you spot something and are unsure what it's used for).&nbsp;For an extra challenge, you could even think about what kinds of technology might replace this in the future. Katie and Tex think holograms might greet you as you enter a shop and augmented reality mirrors could be used in the changing rooms so you won’t even need to try clothes on!We’d love to see your students' or children’s creative ideas, so please do share them with us (see below) and we’ll get back to you with feedback.
