DLSU and ADMU goes to Cairo!

It’s not just Ateneo representing the Philippines in the Imagine Cup 2009 world finals in Cairo.  The results of the other 8 Imagine Cup competition categories are out and a team from De La Salle University placed in the top 6 teams worldwide for the Mash Up category! Janine Trogo and Janelle Marie Campita (DLSU Team Grace8fhex – coached by DLSU professor Danny Cheng) bested 116 teams from all over the world in 2 rounds to land in the top 6 team finalists along with Poland, US, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Brazil.

The MashUp competition challenges students to use their imagination and creativity to organize and combine data and services available today on the internet, and create something useful that will help and improve the world in which we live. MashUp is what we call those web applications that take information from many different places and effectively mix them together. Microsoft offers you an online tool called PopFly.  Cash prizes (1st $8000, 2nd $4000, 3rd $3000) and other special awards awaits the finalists.

So it’s gonna be a blue boys team (Software Design) and a green girls team (Mash Up) this July 3-8 at the Imagine Cup 2009 World Finals in Egypt!  This is the first time we are sending 2 teams in the world finals (and quite a match :-)).
