IBM SmartCloud Camp

A group of students and lecturers from the School of Engineering and Computing secured a place in the SmartCloud which IBM is organizing with the support from Multimedia Development Corporation Sdn Bhd (MDEC).  The camp was held from 23 to 25 February 2012, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Dewan Utama, Tunku Abdul Rahman College, Setapak.

The SmartCloud Camp started off at the end of Sept last year and since then IBM had trained 389 students and IT professionals on the foundation of cloud computing. Of this number, 60 students have obtained their certification on IBM cloud computing which granted them the privilege to join the 3-day SmartCloud Camp.

We are pleased to announce that two KBU students were part of the team who won the Second Prize at the SmartCloud Camp.  The winners received a HTC Cha Cha android phone each.  All participants received a certificate of participation from IBM.
