I am just wondering, if you wanted to have a competition in the Tech industry, what would it be? Any ideas? Would it be coding, sys admin, security, innovative applications, or what? Especially if you wanted to target secondary schools? And guys in industry? Ikua
a competition thats meant to be fun and challenging...I would go for innovative applications. Kind Regards, On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Evans Ikua <ikua.evans@gmail.com> wrote:

Back in the day, there was the Science Congress, I think it still is there, though I dont know if they have computer related "projects". I have it on good authority that at the recent nationals, some girl had come up with a mathematical formula to solve some problem. Clearly, these students are not without creativity. For industry, you could borrow an idea from Google Code Jam, but then alter the problems therein to reflect the unique problems we face here in Kenya e.g. rationing, traffic jams, impunity etc. On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 5:13 PM, John Doe <fivepings@gmail.com> wrote:
