Three teams of Stamford IT students recently represented Thailand at the IEEE SS12 International Competition 2018 in Sri Lanka. 742 participants from 8 countries took part in the event. There were 88 projects competing and our Stamford IT students made us proud:
5th place in the “woman safety” – innovation challenge track
42nd place in the “healthcare” – maker fair track
56th place in the “social needs” – maker fair track
Stamford’s own Dr Surekha Lanka, a lecturer in the IT program, received a “vibrant pilot” award for hosting the preliminary competition in Thailand. Dr Surekha was also invited on stage to present a video about Stamford International University to over a thousand attendees and announce that Stamford will be the host of next year’s event – IEEE SS12 International Competition 2019.
The event was a lot of fun and gave our students invaluable experience, allowing them to meet and learn from global innovators, international students and industry.
