Twenty years ago... just kidding. It was this morning.
We held an Imagine Cup 2008 Campus Roadshow at Padjajaran University (Unpad). The event itself is considerably big, since it was attended by 105 students from D3 programs of Computer Engineering Dept, Informatics Engineering Dept, and Informatics Management Dept.
There were four MSPs on duty : Ronald (ITB), Sultan (Unpad), Dira (Unpad), and me (STT Telkom). Besides us, there was Umar who helped us deliver our speech.
The first presentation was delivered by Umar. He talked about categories in Imagine Cup, starting from Software Design until Photography. The presentation did not quite work as we had expected because there are some problems with our laptops.
I talked next. My speech is about Project Hoshimi. I did about 10 minutes introduction and continued it with a demo of Project Hoshimi 2008. And on the last part of my presentation, I expressed my optimism that Indonesian Hoshimiers can reach worldwide final next year.
Why? I showed them this chart showing our positions in the last three years :
You see, we are going up. Every year is just getting better.
So I think it is reasonable enough to expect ourselves to go to the worldwide final next year.
For your information, there will be six teams who compete in the worldwide final, which is only one step further from top-12 round we had reached last year.
The last presentation was delivered by Ronald. It was a demo of Expression Blend.
Thanks to Dira and Sultan who had worked hard for this event. Thanks for the "wayang". Thanks for the lunch, as well. I never thought that Unpad had such a big enthusiasm on Imagine Cup. Hm... Is this a sign that one of Imagine Cup winners will come from Unpad? Let's see.
