Kids’ Christmas creations to light up Auckland icon

Written by IWK Bureau | Nov 1, 2011 12:14:13 AM

Primary school children across Auckland will be stretching their imaginations in the hopes of having their Christmas-themed designs transformed into New Zealand’s largest laser projection.

The regional search kicked off today, November 1, to find a festive design, created by a primary school class, to become the highlight of a community Christmas event at the TelstraClear Pacific Centre in Manukau on December 20.

Luke Patterson, TelstraClear marketing manager, says this is a unique opportunity for children to see their own creations come to life.

“This is a great way for kids to express their artistic talents using an interesting high-tech medium and for teachers to do something different with their students in the lead up to the holiday season. I can’t wait to see the winning design light up the sky.

“This event is the perfect fit for TelstraClear since it combines our community and family focus with leading-edge technology that’s designed to connect and entertain people.”

The winning class will have their design brought to life as a public animated laser projection and will also receive a $1000 TelstraClear voucher for their school to use on products and services like TelstraClear’s leading high-speed broadband service.
