Tyler received a record-breaking 42 submissions in this year’s
challenge. The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000,
which were presented at Tyler’s virtual awards ceremony on June
23.
This year's winners are:
- First place: Parker Harnett of Yarmouth High School
created “How to Help,” a place for people to find ways to donate
time, money, and needed items. Organizations can register with How
to Help so residents can easily find causes important to them. The
app started as a website, and Parker created an app to increase
exposure for the organizations.
- Second place: Sarah Hagan of Cape Elizabeth High School
developed “Physics Phone a Friend,” an educational tool to help
students with physics. The core of the app features a calculator
that allows students to fill in known values for kinematic
equations. The app includes a mascot and jokes that are displayed
when the correct answers are given.
- Third place: Elena Miller of Yarmouth High School
created “Scoregenix,” an app that keeps a scorebook for a softball
or baseball game. The user enters the result of each pitch, and the
app keeps track of all statistics during the game. After the game
is finished, the user can export the scoresheet to an Excel
spreadsheet.
“We are always impressed by the ideas and app development from
these young students,” said Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler's
Enterprise Group. “The Maine App Challenge continues to introduce
young minds to a future in technology, and we are proud to support
their continued education through scholarships."
Tyler also awarded a $500 check to the Maine high school with
the most teams or individuals submitting an eligible entry. This
year's winner is Casco Bay High School in Portland, whose students
submitted a total of 23 applications.
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 three students successfully designed, developed,
and presented functional mobile applications, and were rewarded
with college scholarships totaling $10,000 in 529 college savings
plans.
