About

About Us

Our Slogan

.Inspiration.Interaction.Integration.

The three buzzwords provide inspiration and is a key driver to the direction of this event. It traces the process of creative and effective learning

Inspiration

Interaction

Integration

This process in learning propels students and learners into another level of thinking. It opens the mind to endless possibilities. Inspiration drives learners to enhanced capabilities and creative solution

This process allows both the teachers and learners to view issues and cases through a common lens. Positive interactions with experts in the industry, specialists and even among peers, colleagues, and classmates allow a rich mix of solutions

This process allows students and learners to learn a professional exploration of new ideas. It also allows a new approach to otherwise traditional solutions. The connection of ideas can only end with a positive synthesis of new knowledge

As a united force of ideas, synergy, challenges, experiments, and team spirit, the event hopes to result in a successful learning experience to the participants, visitors, and university academia
