Many of you will know that we had to bring WATC forward this year as our son Lachlan was competing in Shanghai for WorldSkills in 3d Game Art at the time we normally host WATC.
We have spend the last week watching competitors from all over the world compete in 68 categories from so many different ‘trades’.
Lachlan competed against 16 other competitors from all over the world and they estimated approximately 600,000 visitors came through to watch the event (some people said all up, some said each day which are vastly different numbers from 600k to 2.4mil but it was A LOT of people!)
Closing ceremony last night and Lachlan walked away with silver for Australia and Best in Nation (which means he got the highest score of all the Aussie competitors).
Congrats Lachlan!
