Ajou's students win the Grand Award at the Creative Idea Contest

[16.11.08]


Ajou University students in the Graduate School's Department of Life Media won the Grand Award at the 6th K-ICT Creative Idea Contest. The event, which was organized by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning, was divided into the two categories of Future Technology and Future Prospects.


The Future Technology category invited creative and promising ICT ideas that can be used in future society, while the Future Prospects category received ideas that will be useful in future life, including scenarios, webtoons, and videos. A total of 473 ideas were submitted and 19 teams – 13 teams in Future Technology and 6 teams in Future Prospects – were selected as the final winners after mentoring sessions at the Creative Idea Camp.


Ajou's Team IE-STORY won the Minister of Science, ICT, and Future Planning Award and the award ceremony was held on October 20th at EL Tower in Yangjae-dong, Seoul.


Team IE-STORY consists of Jin Hyeong Cho and Jin Woo Lee, who major in media content in the Graduate School's Department of Life Media and are leading the on-campus business start-up club IE-STORY (guiding professor Gyu Hwan Oh). Team IE-STORY was awarded for their augmented reality-based authoring tool in which characters colored by children act as in fairy tales.
