Most of our DBIT Year 1 students started their holidays even earlier because their last paper was on 22 Feb 2013! But not so for four particular DBIT Year 1 students: Weixuan, Sally, Yihan and Imran. They still had to sit for three more days of "exams"...

| The Magic 4! Sally, Yihan, Wei Xuan and Imran |
Well, fortunately, these 'exams' are fun!
The 'exam' I am talking about is the three rounds of competition that Wei Xuan, Sally, Yihan and Imran have to undergo as they compete with six other teams from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Management University and ERC as part of a business marketing competition they are particpating in.
This fun and challenging competition is organised by the team of talented staff from our supportive partner, Moove Media. If the name Moove Media does not sound familiar to you, I am sure this cow mascot on the left may ring a bell!
Or perhaps you have seen a Moove Media cow "grazing" in your neighbourhood or one of Singapore's popular spots sometime before. Yes, Moove Media is the advertising agency in charge of those quirky and fun 3D advertisements that got you taking out your cameras and start snapping them in awe.

On Friday, the students completed the first round of this competition. On the first day of this competition, the students had to do three things based on a product that they were allocated.
Task 2Within 1 hour and 30 minutes, film and create a video that showcases the product. The video will be uploaded to Youtube and must eventually be able to capture as many likes as possible. Each team must also create a Facebook Page to market the product and try to increase the Fan likes on this Page as well.
Task 3Within 30 minutes, come up with a short presentation to convince a retail shop owner to carry the product in his shop.
Here are some pictures that feature the highlights of the day.
 |
| Each team had to report at 8 am (!) at the Moove Media near Sin Ming area. Upon arriving, the teams would be given a colored box containing the challenges of the day Guess which color box we got! |

| After all the teams arrived, we gathered in the auditorium for a briefing. This was followed by an ice-breaking session. Afterwards, breakfast! |
 |
| After breakfast, the challenge began! Each participating team had to spin the wheel to select a product |
 |
| The students then gathered into a room to start working on the outdoor poster for their product |

| After completing the poster, the students gathered back into the auditorium where they were given comments and scores by an internal panel of judges from the Moove Media team |
Here are the scores of the first day. Sadly, our team did not score a high score for the first day of the competition. :(
Win or lose, it does not matter, it will be an enriching and fun experience for them and I look forward to updating you again for Day 2 and Day 3 when they are over, so keep a close watch on this blog! :)

It's known that the world needs great IT specialists today and it is understandable because everything has been gone digital. Sometimes I think of a model of an economy that let people work less (physically) but create more mentally. I am sure that virtual data room industry is going to be popular in the nearest future, therefore, if I were job hunting, I would try my hand in virtual data rooms or any similar.
