Young inventors strut their stuff this Thursday
The ETITO Bright Sparks HiTech Expo is a showcase of some of New Zealand’s freshest hi-tech talent. With the likes of a gas detecting robot, pimped up potty trainer, car theft prevention system, night vision goggles
and loads more, it’s an opportunity to see young kiwi ingenuity at its best.
These inspired inventions have been developed for the Bright Sparks HiTech Competition, an annual, nationwide
competition where enterprising and technically-minded kids compete for prizes and the chance to show off their creations
at the expos.
Amazing young kiwis who’ve succeeded in the 2007 competition will be flaunting their inventions to key players in the
hi-tech industry between 5pm and 7pm on Thursday 15 November in Auckland at ETITO.
This is an exciting chance for you to feature the exceptional young people who will propel New Zealand’s hi-tech
industries into the future – not to mention, their incredible inventions.
