with Guest Lecturers Nicole Faye Macarasig, Cebu Community Manager at

TechTalks.ph and Albert Chiu Padin, CEO and Founder at SpellDial.com.

Joined by Engr. Grace Sojor President of Council of Deans for

ICT Education in Region IX.

Kiddle is a gamified web application that encourages household chores for kids, a 2nd Startup Weekend Manila Winner. Meanwhile, SpellDial is a mobile application that lets you dial names instead of phone numbers. It connects you to people just by dialing their names and be connected even though the number is not saved in your mobile’s phonebook.

In support of the organization’s goal to acquire mobile development training and engage fellow students in start-ups, the organizers have distributed the limited number of seat slots to all member schools of the organization.
