Tyler awarded $10,000 in college scholarships
to winning high school students
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that four
tech-savvy high school students from across Maine were recently
selected as winners of the 2018 Tyler Technologies Maine App
Challenge, a contest that encourages students to develop a mobile
application and create a video to showcase their app.
The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000, which were
presented at an awards ceremony held at Tyler’s Yarmouth, Maine,
office on June 3, 2018.
This year's winners are:
- First place: Michael Guertler of
Yarmouth High School created an app, “Crank Meter,” that measures
the speed of a lacrosse shot. The app calculates how quickly the
shot will get to the goalie while also saving data on the user’s
fastest shot.
- Second place: Tyler Hansen of
South Portland High School developed “Stem Girlz,” a platform game
that highlights famous women in STEM. The game was created to help
promote the representation of women in STEM fields.
- Third place: Nathan Kiesman and
Noble Mushtak from Marshwood High School created “Class Act.” This
app provides three tools to aid today’s high school student: Snow
Day Alarm, Math Tips, and Extracurricular Forum. Snow Day
Alarm will monitor school cancellations and turn off an alarm if
school is canceled; Math Tips aids with math problems; and
Extracurricular Forum is a bulletin board organizer that lists
available after school activities. Nathan and Noble were named
winners of last year’s Maine App Challenge, as well.
“We are proud to recognize the involvement our winners had this
year and appreciate those teachers who instill excitement and
passion for technology every day through their work,” said Chris
Hepburn, president of Tyler's ERP & Schools Division. “The
Maine App Challenge continues to encourage today’s high school
students and introduce them to a future in technology. We are proud
to support the winners’ future education through scholarships.”
This year, Tyler also awarded $500 checks to the two schools
with the most submissions. This year’s winners are the Maine
Central Institute and Biddeford Regional Center of Technology.
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 STEM-related
disciplines. These four students successfully designed, developed,
and presented functional mobile applications, and were rewarded
with college scholarships totaling $10,000 in 529 college savings
plans.
