Congratulations to all participants of the inaugural Townsville Young ICT Explorers! Approximately 50 students from five schools entered the challenge, delivering almost 20 high quality projects. We hope everyone pulled a few words of wisdom from Tristan Davey’s keynote speech – he sure enjoyed spending time with you.
