Primary schools battle it out in inaugural Pitch-A-Thon event

As part of Startup Gladstone’s EarlyPreneur Program (EPP) students from four local state schools competed in last month’s inaugural Pitch-A-Thon event, with Ambrose State School taking out the Mayor’s Innovation Award.

Competing against teams from Kin Kora State School, Gladstone Central State School and Builyan State School, Ambrose won with their product, The North Keppel Mugga Mugga Drone, designed and coded to remove rubbish from the National Park on North Keppel Island.
