Congratulations to WBHS TECHGIRLS Blue Screen team - Imogen Smith, Sophie Elston, and Ami Bromhead - for winning the NSW Secondary School Winner category! Super proud of the girls & their efforts to design & produce a winning app called TEACHU.
"So, lockdown happened, and it shut down our lives for years, but we kept growing. Now, there are adults who can’t change or fix a tap, or students who missed a year's worth of English. What skills did the pandemic take out of your life?"
'We noticed that the COVID-19 lockdown has caused a massive education gap in our society. Our app aims to decrease this by enabling students to find and connect with tutors, study buddies and study groups. Have you ever wanted to learn how to sew? Are you failing trigonometry? Well, with our app, we can teach u! Our app has a chat feature in which tutors and students can communicate. Teach me, Teach U, Learn together. '
A quote from one of this year's judges: "The girls are truly remarkable, and they certainly have a thing or two to teach us all."
Very proud of the girls, working together and putting in a huge effort to achieve great things. Congrats on a job well done! Big thanks and gratitude again to our mentor Lyndal Hamwood and Mrs Chawner (coach).
Team work makes the dream work. Congrats again for your incredible efforts and achievements in the 2023 Techgirls Competition.
