2016 Mayor's Technology Challenge Final

Last Thursday evening, the 2016 Mayor’s Technology Final was held at Spark’s Bureau in Maroochydore. There were eight Sunshine Coast schools in the competition and most teams comprised of Year 12 students. Pacific entered two teams of Year 9 and 10 students in the challenge.  

On the night, teams provided a three-minute video presentation and there was also a short question and answer session.

The Surf Tracker team (Luke Morris, Nathan Heinz and Jacob Cross-Pitcher) won a collaboration award in the form of paid entry into an upcoming entrepreneurial event. The Musical Maestro team (Keaton Dines and Ryan Lancaster) was awarded third place overall, which is a wonderful achievement. They were given a $500 JB-HiFi gift certificate and a gaming laptop for the College.

We extend a huge congratulations to the five students involved in the challenge. They each put in many hours of work to develop their ideas. We also thank their families for the wonderful support provided throughout the challenge.

We are already looking forward to next year’s competition, with bigger and better ideas!

Mrs Janine Stone, Head of Information Technology
