continues to inspire these students to pursue STEM-related careers
in the future. Companies in Maine, including Tyler, would welcome
the talent of these bright students.”
This year’s winners are:
- First place: Violet Blum Levine of Deering High School
created PTConnect, a system for easily scheduling parent-teacher
conferences.
- Second place: Miles Dailey and Isaac Wright of Mt.
Ararat High School developed PlanPal, a tool to help students keep
track of their assignments.

The winners received scholarships totaling $10,000 in 529
college savings plans, presented at Tyler’s awards ceremony on
April 27 at the University of Maine System Maine Center in
Portland. Tyler awarded $500 to Casco Bay High School in Portland
for having the most teams or individuals submitting an eligible
entry.
Similar to last 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. Tyler also partnered with the
University of Maine on its Fundamentals of Innovation (INV121)
course available online to high school students as an early college
course that allows them to earn college credits while designing an
app submission for the Maine App Challenge.
“The University of Maine has welcomed the opportunity to engage
with Tyler and these talented students in the Maine App Challenge
over the past few years,” said Renee Kelly, associate vice
president of strategic partnerships, innovation, and engagement for
the University of Maine. “It’s rewarding to see how excited the
students have been during campus tours, workshops, and courses that
have helped them in their app development this year.”
The Maine App Challenge 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 $100,000 in 529 college
savings plans to students in Maine.
