Alumni, Evan Mereau (2020) won the Wild Fig YES (Young Entrepreneur Support) Award in 2019. Evan was interviewed on ABC Central Coast Radio in August 2021. Evan won this prestigous award by inventing a scratchplate pickup device. Evan explains in his interview "I have developed an interchangeable pickup system for electric guitars that fit almost every model available. The pickups are the element of an electric guitar that converts the string vibration into an electrical signal which is transported to your amplifier, where you again hear it as sound. So you can change the pickup on an electric guitar, you can effectively change what sound you hear from it." To hear Evan's interview lick on the button below. Congratulations Evan.
