Salesian Past Pupil wins Microsoft competition
(ANS – Egypt - Cairo, 1 September 2009 ) – Enrique Perticarati and Alexander Nacari, Computer Technology Laboratory Assistants in the Scientific University of the State of San Paolo University (UNESP) Brazil, have won the first prize in the “Interface Imagine Cup” category - an annual competition organised by “Microsoft”.
Both have received a prize of 8,000 American dollars. Perticarati completed his studies at the Don Bosco Salesian Institute of Piracaba, Brazil in 2005.
In July in Cairo, Egypt, Enrique Perticarati took part in the “Image Cup” competition which has various categories and in which over 300 students from all parts of the world including 22 from Brazil were involved.
Three Brazilian Teams were among the winners. Enrique and Alexander who were the “Willburn” Team, had a maximum of 36 hours to produce an interface project based on the theme of the competition: “Imagine a world in which technology helps to solve the problems which nowadays most trouble us.”
Starting from a interface project of the Committee of the Portuguese Language Museum in San Paolo – where a visitor putting together letters and syllables can make up words in the context of a scheme to discover the etymology of the words - the “Willburn” Team demonstrated how it was possible to insert numbers as well, and so help in the learning of mathematics, chemistry and other suibjects.
