💻 The iDesign competition has returned for 2024! 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 This extracurricular competition, supported by IT expert and Alumni Mr Geoff Quattromani, is an opportunity for students to identify a real-world problem and, using technology, solve the identified issue. With 10 projects entered by 19 students, the competition is bigger than ever! 📱⌨🖥 Through their projects, presented to Mr Quattromani last week, students demonstrated a range of technological solutions such as various prototypes created with 3D printed models and Lego robotic applications. There were also app designs, in the form of functional coding and graphic user interfaces. It was impressive to see the use of AI and other multimedia applications in the concept work in the area of game design 🎮. These are just some examples of the impressive level of creativity showcased by the students. 👏👏👏 Congratulations to all those who participated in the program this year. Stay tuned for our winners!
