ByThe Courier Reporter
The Braeview Academy pupils were presented with the Strathmore Trophy by Euan Headridge, BCS Chartered Institute of IT Tayside and Fife.
Dylan Flood, Jacob Piorko, Jack Mackey and Andromeda Gibb from Braeview Academy impressed judges with their design for wearable technology, beating off competition from 14 other schools to win the Strathmore Trophy at Dundee University’s school of computing.
Jack said: “Our teacher, Mr Vosser, said he liked the idea of a wearable technology T-shirt for going to discos.
“That’s how we first came up with the idea for a T-shirt that displays images of the surrounding environment.
“Eventually we realised that by displaying these images, the T-shirt could create the illusion the person wearing it is invisible.”
