Four innovative students from MahNHS made a strong debut in the Department of Information and Communications Technologyโs (DICT) Province-wide Reverse Pitching Competition, finishing second runner-up Monday in Mambajao, Camiguin.
The Uphill Innovators, composed of Joeld Avin Lopez, Tij Michone Maderal, Althea Jamero and Nina Isabelle Cassandra Quilation, were among the nine teams selected from entries submitted by high school and college participants, advancing to the final round of presentations.
Their finish came as the team competed not only against fellow high school students but also against college-level teams, making the achievement a significant milestone for the schoolโs first participation in the competition.
The team presented BiteInByte, an application developed from their own concept. The team said they hope to further develop BiteInByte into an ICT solution using a coding-based platform, which would allow the application to become more scalable, customizable and sustainable.
Coach Jovann Rey M. Pangan guided the students throughout the competition.
The competition, now in its second year, brings together aspiring innovators and aims to help shape the future of innovation while creating opportunities for employment across the region.
For the Uphill Innovators, the podium finish marks more than a first-place attempt at a new competition. It gives MahNHS a place among the provinceโs emerging young innovators, and a promising start to its journey in technology and innovation.
