The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000, which were
presented at an awards ceremony held at Tyler’s Yarmouth, Maine,
office on June 15, 2019.
This year's winners are:
- First place: Michael Guertler of
Yarmouth High School created “TIMR,” a camera app that relies on
voice commands to take pictures. After being disappointed with his
smartphone’s inability to take pictures using voice commands,
Michael developed the app to take photos with a quick audio
instruction. Michael is a returning winner from the 2018 Maine App
Challenge.
- Second place: Avery Gosselin of
the Maine Central Institute (MCI) developed “The Room of
Requirement” app. MCI has a room of requirement that houses donated
goods that are intended to be distributed to people in need. With
Avery’s app, MCI students can conveniently request items from the
room while maintaining privacy.
- Third place: Aidan Blum Levine
of Deering High School created “Winditions,” an app where Mainers
can check on and report trail conditions. Aiden has created flyers
and posted them at various trails around Portland to promote the
app, which currently has more than 300 posts.
“We are excited to catch a glimpse of Maine’s future through
these innovative student designs,” 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, and we’re proud to support their
continued education through scholarships.”
For the second year, 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 Biddeford Regional Center of
Technology in Biddeford, Maine.
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.
