The Bubble Guppies

Ginni Orr —

The Bubble Guppies from Semester One 9XT Digital Technology have been named as National semi-finalists.

They identified an issue of some students not being confident enough to approach teachers for help and came up with an app concept they called 'Anonymous Tutor'. They researched with students what their needs were and consequently focused on Maths, English, Science and Languages. It included learning resources and the ability to ask questions anonymously. 

As Year 9's, they worked through Covid times and challenges. Due to Covid and students coming and going they only had one mentor visit. So, to be named as National semi-finalists is huge.
