PCS Edventures! Completes Successful Pilot Program in Australia
| Source: PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.
BOISE, ID--(Marketwire - July 28, 2009) - PCS Edventures! (OTCBB : PCSV ) today announced
successful pilot results from its Australian partner and distributor,
Intellecta Technologies Pty Ltd.
"An initial Academy of Engineering installation ordered earlier this year
was placed at Aviation High School in Brisbane, Queensland -- a model
magnet school designed to facilitate student career placements within the
aviation industry," stated Joe Egusquiza, Vice President of International
Sales at PCS Edventures!. "My recent visit to Brisbane allowed me to see
how successful the pilot has been for PCS and Intellecta, since this model
school is a high profile project site for both the Queensland Education
Department and the Australian Federal Department of Education. During my
visit, the Director General for Queensland, along with federal-level
professional technical personnel, also visited and observed the lab in
action."
"We have strategically positioned the PCS SySTEMic solution for
pre-engineering at Aviation High School due to the high visibility of the
school and the compatibility of the Academy of Engineering with the goals
and objectives of the faculty and administration," noted Dr. Tony
Pugatschew, Managing Director for Intellecta Technologies Pty Ltd. "We are
now working to expand the program at Aviation High School and collaborating
with the surrounding feeder schools to introduce the rest of the PCS
solution. There are no comparable systemic programs that link science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a contiguous path from
pre-kindergarten through high school in Australia, and we see tremendous
opportunities for the PCS solution in both the public and private
educational environments."
In addition to time spent with Aviation High School during the recent
international trip, Robert Grover, PCS Executive Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer, also delivered a keynote address and hosted several
technology workshops at the Industrial Technology and Design Teacher's
Association (INTAD) Conference in Brisbane. He and Mr. Egusquiza continued
on to Bangkok, Thailand, to enhance manufacturing relationships and
establish additional distribution channels for the Company's robotics and
engineering products in Asia.
