Students from three high schools receive
college scholarships totaling $10,000
Five tech-savvy high school students from across Maine were
recently selected as winners of the 2017 Tyler Technologies Maine
App Challenge, a contest that encourages students to develop a
mobile application and create a video to showcase their app. The
finalists received scholarships totaling $10,000, which were
presented at a ceremony preceding the 1 p.m. Portland Sea Dogs game
on Sunday, April 23, 2017. This year’s winners are:
- First place: Permit Log by Brian
Austin, Nathan Kiesman and Noble Mushtak of Marshwood High School
is an electronic version of the permit log student drivers must
complete and submit to receive their license. The app captures all
the information of the traditional log, plus has a timer to track
hours driven, stores supervising driver’s name, age and license
number, and exports to a printer for ease of submission.
- Second place: iExercise by James
Newkirk of Telstar High School is an exercise tracker that includes
a sit up counter, universal exercise pacer, walking and running
tracker, and more, plus offers healthy living tips.
- Third place: SoPo Spark by Tyler Hansen
of South Portland High School helps others make the world a better
place by creating change and spreading positivity through daily
challenges, like going through old clothes and donating to charity,
holding the door open for two strangers, or trying to brighten
someone’s day.
The Maine App Challenge was developed in partnership with
Educate Maine’s Project>Login to encourage the next generation
of professionals to pursue future careers in science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM)-related disciplines. These five
finalists successfully designed, developed and presented functional
mobile applications, and were rewarded with college scholarships
totaling $10,000 in 529 college savings plans.
“The Maine App Challenge continues to showcase the talent of
many high school students who, we hope, will consider pursuing a
career in technology,” said Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler’s ERP
& Schools Division. “Tyler is excited to catch a glimpse of
Maine’s future and we’re proud to support the winners’ continued
education with $10,000 in scholarships.”
