BU-ITI Student Seizes Challenging Tech Opportunity
Congratulations to Miss Nantita Damrongpanawan (Rafa), a student in Computer Science with a focus on Data Science and Cyber Security at the Faculty of Information Technology and Innovation. She has been selected as 1 of 12 participants in the Web Programming category, out of 1,092 applicants nationwide, for the "Junior Web Master Camp" project. This camp attracts tech enthusiasts from across the country, including university students passionate about web development.
This project offers an opportunity to challenge the skills of web developers through JWC (Junior Webmaster Camp), which is divided into 4 areas of interest: Content, Design, Marketing, and Programming. It provides a space for self-discovery through activities with new friends and creating a real website within 3 days and 2 nights. This year's JWC13 theme is "Web for Cash: Understanding Everyday Finance". Those who pass the selection will create websites about interesting financial topics in daily life, applying knowledge from each field to create new work with technology. The camp is a community that brings together web gurus to educate and nurture the participating students.
First Time Participating in JWC Project
"This is my first time participating in this project, which is typically for those under 18 years old. I could join despite being in my second year because I'm still within the age limit due to advanced placement. It's very exciting because not everyone can join. All participants are selected before joining the camp. We had to submit portfolios of activities we've done or participated in, and there was an interview to discuss our perspectives and attitudes. So we had to show them that we're ready to learn."
Every Second Counts
"The fun began from the very first second of participation. We were grouped with people who shared similar interests, feeling like we'd met close friends we'd known for 10 years. Everyone in the project was lovely. As for the teammates in my group, we clicked perfectly. Everyone divided tasks and listened to each other. Some groups seemed overly tense and serious, while others were a bit too relaxed. But our group struck the right balance, resulting in work that was as good as anyone else's. We had fun with other activities they provided, creating a perfect equilibrium."
Joyful Happiness
"I made the right decision joining this camp. I gained knowledge from skilled people, saw different perspectives, learned from experienced individuals, which made me want to develop myself to be as skilled as them. Coming to the camp gave me inspiration, and we also played fun games that fit the camp's theme, like collecting coins to exchange for prizes. We could accumulate these coins by sharing various ideas and see our totals in real-time."
