Christian Privitelli wins prestigious award

Every year Apple Corporation holds what is called the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) and as a part of this they also hold a competition for students which gives them the opportunity to submit an innovative creation.

Over the past few months Christian has worked passionately on a project and created an augmented reality solar system that can be used as a teaching device. It allows the user to select a planet, learn information about the chosen planet and then complete a quiz at the end.

Christian was one of only 350 winners world-wide and one of only 10 winning students in Australia!

It's wonderful to see his hard work and passion paying off with such a prestigious award. He is also currently working on developing a robot hand with another student at St Ignatius College, James Fuller and they are so grateful for the encouragement and support he is receiving from Mr Nash his Digital Technology teacher.
