1. “MakeIT”
“MakeIT” is an Inter School Software Competition, organized by the Association of Computer Engineering Students of the University of Peradeniya.
The aim of the competition is to get innovative ideas from school children of all around the country under the theme ‘Innovative Software for National Development’.
As the first step, the participants will send their proposals. Those proposals will be evaluated by the staff members of Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya and the selected groups will be asked to develop their software. Final evaluation of the software will be performed with the help of industry personnel.
Our main objective is to give school children an opportunity to show their talents and show the world what they can do. The participants will be able to expose themselves to the latest technologies in the IT sector and also they can identify their talents and make themselves ready for their future career.
“MakeIT” will be one of the few software competitions which targets only the youth crowd at the school level. We hope that this programme will assist its target group in enhancing their technical skills as well as the communication skills and personality, which are essential within any professional setup.
