‘Team Jukechi’ composed of Chiara Felicia Gabrielle Amisola (DLSZ 2018) Keith Randall Leonardo (DLSZ 2018) and Steven Leroy Bulaong (DLSZ 2019) placed third in the last Microsoft Imagine Cup PH last March 5, 2018 at the Microsoft Philippines Headquarters, Ayala Avenue, Makati City. The team competed against four (4) Computer Science teams from Technological Institute of the Philippines and was the only Senior High School Team that made the cut for the national finals.
The team presented a web application called ‘Batid’ which acts as an information tool to report real-time incidents in a specific vicinity. The web application is inspired to aid government and the immediate community in answering disaster and risk reduction incidents.
