2009 Imagine Cup Photography Competition

February 9th, 2009 by graceskye and tagged ,

2009 Imagine Cup Theme: “Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems facing us today”

source:http://imaginecup.com/Competition/mycompetitionportal.aspx?competitionId=25

A message from the Photography Captain:
The Millenium Development Goals are big goals! To me, they seem almost impossible to solve. How can we help kids around the world finish their primary education? Reduce child mortality? Eradicate poverty? Thru pictures - I can tell a story. Through photos, we can ensure that every single person in the world is aware of these problems, and show them examples on how to change the world just a little. The only way to solve these challenges is all together. If some years ago a 12 year old girl stood up in front of the world leaders to raise these issues, why don’t you do the same with the tools you have handy? Hear Bono talking about one of these issues and then think about the way you can do… anything. Talk to your friends that love photography, create a team, invite other students to participate in the competition and tell the story. WE can do something. Happy shooting!
- Leandro Doeyo

Research Workshop held at COMTECH INSTITUTE

February 9th, 2009 by graceskye and tagged ,

Inspired with the theme – A Walkthrough in Research Writing and Appreciation, research students convened last month at the Social Hall, Creative Technologies and Convergence Center to listen to various lectures on research topic selection, applied research methodologies, APA referencing and treated with a Case Study presentation by Ms. Margaret F. Bello in the afternoon session.

The workshop provides a venue for student researchers investigating topics in Information and Communication Technologies and service management groups. Participants had the opportunity to receive suggestions on possible research topics and in turn heard some feedback from the lecturers on the proposals they have in mind.
