Feedback from the Judges
All credit must be given Intel and its partners for the professional way in which the competition was organized. The first round had the wonderfully organized rubric and the second round was objective, yet friendly and the face to face round gave us an opportunity to interact personally and select the winners. - Mr. Jonathan Anderson, Flinders University Australia
The competition highlighted the role played by School Leadership in the growth and innovation in schools. As a judge it was a tough job to select the winners because they were all winners within the context and the situation. Each school has achieved a lot in terms of ICT integration and innovation and creativity. – Ms. Paulina Pennen, Sampoerna Foundation Thailand
Intel should consider having such contests revolving around a smaller theme, which will allows schools to showcase their excellence in various areas. - Ms. Jonghwi Park, UNESCO Bangkok
