Eighth annual contest received the highest
number of submissions in its history
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that three
digitally-savvy high school students from Maine were recently
selected as winners of the 2022 Tyler Technologies Maine App
Challenge, a contest that challenges students to show off their
skills and creativity by building a mobile application.
The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000, which were
presented at Tyler’s awards ceremony on June 18 at the Gulf of
Maine Research Institute.
This year’s winners are:
- First place: Yuliya Buturlia of Scarborough High School
created ScheduleStorm, an app that allows students to schedule
meetings with their teachers, anytime and from anywhere.
- Second place: Frazier Dougherty of Yarmouth High School
created Train ME 2, an elevated workout app that allows users to
create customizable workouts or choose from a database of premade
workouts. This inclusive workout app is for all activity levels and
allows users to track progress and set individual goals.
- Third place: Ian Lajoie of Biddeford Regional Center for
Technology created Quick Work, an app that helps users easily find
videos and information from experts on how to troubleshoot problems
with their vehicle.
“The annual Maine App Challenge allows for students to explore
the world of software design and development in a creative and fun
way,” said Chris Hepburn, president of Tyler’s Enterprise Group.
“The students’ application designs are always interesting and
innovative, and we were pleased to be able to honor our winners in
person this year. We hope that this contest inspires future
technology professionals in the great state of Maine.”
This year, Tyler collaborated with the Foster Center for
Innovation at the University of Maine to host a series of free
workshops for students to help with brainstorming, prototyping, and
testing their applications. Students that attended these workshops
began their work to qualify for a University of Maine System
Innovation Micro-Credential.
The three Maine App Challenge 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 Casco Bay High School in Portland, whose students
completed a total of 13 submissions.
High school students in Maine may be unaware that there are
thousands of career opportunities the state offers in software and
computer science. The Maine App Challenge, which was developed in
2015 in partnership with Educate Maine's Project>Login,
introduces students to STEM-related disciplines and supports the
notion that these students can excel in this field while remaining
in Maine. Since its inception, the Maine App Challenge has gifted
more than $70,000 in 529 college savings plans to students in
Maine.
