Schools invited to telco expo

New Zealand schools are invited to participate in the Planet 2010 conference to be held by the Telecommunications Industry Group (TIG) in March next year.

TIG chief executive Rob Spray says the National Schools Challenge for primary and secondary school students will consist of online challenges using a wide range of technologies including mobile phones, online resources, podcasts and YouTube.

Teachers and students have until the end of the school term to submit their ideas on what those challenges might be.

Planet 2010 will be held in Auckland on 12 – 13 March next year.
