UAVS competition calls for innovative technological ideas
Sydney (VNA) - The United Associations of Vietnamese Students in Australia’s New
South Wales (UAVS-NSW) has launched its IT idea competition UAVS
Hackatrix "Fix the Glitch" 2021.
Participating teams are set to develop ideas on their
technological products and compete against one another in terms of innovation
and application in tackling issues in health, society, finance-banking,
services, and technology.
Three teams with the most outstanding ideas will pocket
awards worth up to 20,000 AUD in total.
High school graders, university and postgraduate students in
Vietnam and Oceania are eligible to join in groups of between two and five
members each. Individuals can also register and will be supported by the organisers
to form teams.
The four-round contest will run from July to October.
UAVS-NSW President Nguyen The Anh said the competition
follows a series of activities targeting Vietnamese students in Australia initiated
by the association since it was established three years ago.
The event focuses not only on the IT arena but also is open to
students from different fields, he noted.
A sustainable and potential technological project sees the
contribution of people from various sectors, he explained.
As part of the contest, the online workshop UAVS
"Techtalk - Hello Future" is slated for August 7, gathering
top-expert speakers to answer queries on the competition and provide latest IT trends./.
