Behold OAU's Newest Ambassadors

Culled from The Punch on the Web - Tuesday, 1 Jun 2010

Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife will be representing Nigeria at this year‘s Microsoft Imagine Cup competition, a world software contest to be held in Poland.

Tagged ‘Team Indwell’, The trio of Abiola Olaniran, Adeboye Oshinaga and Akinbiyi Omole, 400 levels students of the Faculty of Technology, OAU will compete with contestants from other countries later this year.



The Development Platform Manager, Microsoft Nigeria, Mr. Ken Span said, ”This is the third year Nigeria has sent a team to the Imagine Cup finals. This year saw an increase in the number of schools and students participating in the annual Microsoft sponsored software competition. It is the ”World Cup” of student software competition. All of Nigeria is wishing for Team Indwel‘s success at the finals in Poland.

This is the team‘s second attempt at representing Nigeria at the World Finals, and they beat five other teams at the keenly contested event to come out tops.

Team Indwell‘s winning title was ‘Brain Media‘. According to the team, the software creates access to quality education throughout the world. This is done by coming up with a platform that builds relationships, which combines people (teachers, children, students and other professionals) in the developed nations with those in the under-developed and developing nations. Through this, quality resources are made available for every-body irrespective of their geographical location, political climate and gender inequality.

I'm very proud of this and it only goes to show that we can actually develop applications that solve real-world problems in Nigeria and bring innovation to our society.

Congrats guys!!! :-)
