INSPIRED INNOVATION AT CAIRNS STATE HIGH

The most creative invention went to Flippin' Footprints

It is wonderful to be able to give back to our FNQ community in terms of sharing expertise.  In recent months I have been very fortunate to be a special guest at both Peace Lutheran College and Cairns State High School - introducing public relations and putting it into a marketing perspective.

After speaking to Cairns State High School's Year 9 Business Studies class about publicity and how it would help market their inventions at a trade expo, I was later honoured to be a judge at the 'trade show'.  Wow, what an inspired and energetic group of young people - who really came up with the goods in terms of innovative products - the winner was an animal call app for visitors to the Far North. I think this one has integrity and the students went to great effort in terms of developing marketing collateral that was both attractive and informative.  Their expo stand was a clear winner = themed like a rainforest with the creators dressed as animals.  Flippin' Footprints also scored top marks for their efforts.  Well done all!
