The 1st National Convention of ICpep: 2016

It was more than a year and still the effect is giving me chills eveytime I remember it. On October 15, 2016 the Region X hosts an event in a regional convention in their region in all of the Computer Engineering students. Then hosts again for the 1st national convention of Computer Engineering students in the whole Philippines.

It was an epic win for us because we garnered first in 2 of the 3 contests that we have joined in the regional convention. The contests are Logic Breadboarding, Programming and Quiz bowl. Only Quiz bowl contest that we are place on second. All the first of the each category will then proceed to participate in the national convention.

On the 1st national convention that also held in Cagayan de Oro (Region X) on November 24, 2016, there were many participants of renowned schools all over the Philippines and also renowned name of alumni's of Computer Engineers that are gathering. It was a special day of us to the computer engineering students to see more of the Computer Engineers.

Me, together with my colleagues, participated on logic Breadboarding contest. On the Regionals, we placed Champions. But in the Nationals we only placed 1st runner up. It was not an easy call because there were many Computer Engineering Students in all regions are invited in the said contest. We were lucky enough get the 2nd place. Although, only 10 seconds apart that we only placed second.
