Ajou’s LINC Project Group and Suwon City hold the ICT Convergence Idea Contest

2015-10-26


The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Convergence Idea Contest, which was co-hosted by Ajou University’s LINC Project Group and Suwon City, was held on October 16th and 17th in the Suwon Indoor Gymnasium. The event is part of the 12th Suwon Information & Science Festival and was held under the theme of ICT-based industrial technology and robotics industry.


The Contest is the first crowdsourcing-based event to be organized by a primary local government in Korea. It was attended by about 600 participants from 370 teams, who presented a number of creative ideas on products, software, and services by integrating ICT.


In addition to the Contest, the Suwon Information & Science Festival featured various other activities, including the Steam Up Robot Contest, the Student Science Fest, the Information Olympiad, and the Capstone Design Fair.


The Steam Up Robot Contest included pushing robots off the stage via remote control, the Smart Rescue (have robots perform their missions and then leave the stage by using sensors), robot soccer, and other activities in which participants could learn how robots work and experience firsthand how they can be useful in our daily lives.
 

The Capstone Design Fair, in which university students participated, involved many innovative ideas and great works, indicating that we live in an 'era of idea competition' over day-to-day items.


A number of participants from Ajou University won awards at the event. The list of award-winners is as follows:
 
* Bronze Prize at the ICT Convergence Idea Contest – Jin Hyeok Yoon, Seung Yeol Park 
* Participation Award at the ICT Convergence Idea Contest – Gi Tae Park, Tae Sun Kim, Min Ho Kim, Hyeon Gyo Suh
* Excellence Award at the Capstone Design Fair – Yoon Shik Jung, Hyeon Seok Oh
