Wow, what a night!

The Aquinas Young innovators have shown that they are a creative and resourceful team of students. This team excelled last night at the Young Innovators Awards evening held at Classic Flyers.

The Young Innovators Award is an annual competition. Students must show their innovation skills by developing a unique innovation that’ll make the world a better place. The best entries – judged by top innovators in NZ and abroad – win an internship at leading businesses in the Bay.

This year Aquinas College swept the Intermediate section claiming 1st, 2nd, 3rd and also the People’s Choice Award. Further up the age groups, Charlotte Watson won the People’s Choice Award for the Junior Division.

Aquinas College entered 4 creations in the junior section. Check out their submission videos below.
