Past Events - 2010
The first Annual Young ICT Explorers competition on the 7th of August 2010 was a fantastic success, with 176 students from over 20 schools participating and
140 students presenting more than 60 projects at the judging event. Teachers, parents, volunteers and organisers were delighted with the talent and
creativity of the projects. We hope that the students will continue with the competition in later years as it grows and expands.,
