Congratulations to the Young ICT Explorers winners for NSW 2014. Held at the University of New South Wales – the day was jam packed with energy and excitement. The teams of judges had a hard time deciding who to award this as this year’s winners but ultimately it came down to how well the student groups had applied technology to a problem they were trying to solve. Once again – well done to everyone involved. Below is a list of this year’s recognised projects:
