Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that three
digitally-savvy high school students from Maine were recently
selected as winners of the 2021 Tyler Technologies Maine App
Challenge, a contest that encourages students to develop a mobile
application and create a video to showcase their design.
The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000, which were
presented at Tyler’s virtual awards ceremony on June 23. Steve
Wozniak — a renowned electronics engineer, computer programmer,
philanthropist, and technology entrepreneur — also recorded a
message played during the ceremony that congratulated the
participants and winners of the Maine App Challenge.
This year’s winners are:
- First place: Aidan Blum Levine of Deering High School
created Oops! I Forgot!, an app that provides students a way to
stay organized and keep track of school assignments, classes and
activities.
- Second place: Sarah Hagan of Cape Elizabeth High School
created The Bookshelf Elf, a tool to help middle school students
choose books that interest them to encourage independent
reading.
- Third place: Frazier Dougherty of Yarmouth High School
created Train ME, a workout app that focused on high intensity
interval training (HIIT). The app allows users to create
customizable workouts or choose from a database of premade workouts
designed to maximize muscle growth.
“This is the seventh year of the Maine App Challenge, and these
students continue to raise the bar on innovative app designs,” said
Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler’s Enterprise Group. “I am always
impressed by their ideas and seeing those ideas come to fruition
with a user-friendly app. We hope that these students remain
inspired to possibly pursue a career in technology one day.”
These three winners were rewarded with college scholarships
totaling $10,000 in 529 college savings plans. Tyler also gifted
tablets to the students who completed the first 50 submissions.
Additionally, a guaranteed internship interview will be given for
the top 10 submission participants following each student’s college
sophomore 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 whose students submitted a total of 11 applications.
The Maine App Challenge was developed in 2015 in partnership
with Educate Maine's Project>Login to encourage the next
