A week at VT KnowledgeWorks: The big day

We woke up early to check out and to be ready for this long day.

The competition started with the first presentation : Kera10. So, let's present the teams :

bio-science diagnostic

A simple diagnostic test for the fast and efficient diagnosis of specific tumors. Based on the concept of the home pregnancy test, the idea is easily adapatable towards other diseases.

INKeyboard

This is an innovative technology-based keyboard. The new product innovates the keyboard experience by introducing e-ink buttons, which allows for more flexibility, fulfilling a widespread need among computer users.

Kimeltu

Kimeltu is a web platform which allows educators to measure students performance and to monitor their progress by taking easily generated tests. It’s a freemium service where any person can create tests to be taken by a limited amount of students by choosing questions from a “public question bank” or by adding their own questions to the bank. Institutions can pay to generate their own, private question bank and to have access to detailed analysis of their students’ progress with easy-to-understand statistics. It also helps to validate and measure questions' difficulty, guaranteeing high quality tests. In the future, it will become an e-market where institutions can sell or share their question banks with others.

Kera10

Kera10 is the cosmetics arm of bio-materials regenerative company KN LLC. Kera10 has exclusive access to the proprietary biomedical grade keratin. Its parent company, KN LLC, manufactures and protects with 26 patents.

Our platform allows folks to grow their brands by creating fan pages that help with engaging their fans.

OOHLALA Mobile

OOHLALA is a mobile application that helps college students navigate their campus life, and provides a platform to student unions, and services to engage with students.

We are the 3rd scheduled presentation. We are quite nervous but we have rehearsed a lot and are ready to do this. Actually, we did a great job, but respond to question is a little more difficult and our answers are less precise.

The competition continues and we assist the other presentations. Every team has done a really really good job. The VT team did show us what really looks like a american presentation/show ! Everybody can win...
