What is Holden Maryborough Technology Challenge?

HMTC is a weekend for primary and high school students that is full of fun, innovation, action-packed racing and imagination. Students gather to camp with their peers, work as teams, and race on a state-wide level, against schools from all over Queensland - plus some from across Australia and overseas!

About the event:

It was in 2002 that the Holden Maryborough Technology Challenge began taking students beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

Since then, Holden MTC has grown to become Queensland’s premier and most dynamic youth event. Now in its seventh year, the event attracts participants from all over Queensland - and further afield throughout Australia! HMTC attracts high media attention and is supported by many proud sponsors, including the major sponsor Holden.
