Expressions of interest are now being invited for students in Years 8 to 10 across the Sunshine Coast to take part in the Mayor's Telstra Innovation Masterclass Series.
Sunshine Coast Council has launched the new program in partnership with Telstra and Study Sunshine Coast.
The series builds on the success of the Mayor's Telstra Innovation Awards program and will provide even greater access and opportunities for local students.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli praised the initiative.
"The Mayor's Telstra Innovation Masterclass Series is a fantastic opportunity for our young people to learn from the best and be inspired to achieve great things," Mayor Natoli said.
"We are committed to investing in our youth and providing them with the tools they need to succeed.
"By supporting our students and connecting them with industry leaders, we are not only helping them to achieve their dreams but also ensuring the continued growth and prosperity of the region.
"Supporting innovation is so important for the region and aligns with Council's advocacy priorities to cement the Sunshine Coast as one of Australia's most advanced economies, anchored by technology and innovation."
