The second version of the EBT Fair (Empresa Base tecnológica) took place last 3rd. November at Caribe Plaza mall and it was attended by students and professors from different educational institutions and universities of the city.
This Fair was organized as a strategy to recognize the projects of Unicolombo students, which want to create new technologies. The prototypes or solutions are developed during Entrepreneurship Chair of every bachelor and the TBT LABS (Laboratorios de Tecnología Básica Transversal), are excercices that let the students descover new technology trends in order to apply them for the developement of effective solutions face the challenges of the present era.
Con base en el modelo de emprendimiento de UNICOLOMBO lo que perseguimos con la ayuda de todos los docentes que imparten esta cátedra y lideran el proceso en cada programa es enseñar a los estudiantes a “hacer” emprendimientos.
These proiects are based on "do it" method, whereby students start by defining a problem. Then, they have to identify the best solution for that problem in order to transform the situation.
Based on this method, students projects have had good results, what shows that the fair let other people descover the Unicolombo students ideas.
In the frame of this second version fair, Unicolombo celebrate Unico Unicolombo Awards. 26 projetcs participated among them 3 were selected as winner of a speecific cathegory:
1. Healthy Food Box (Better product or solution Category).
2. Rural gas (Better Social Innovation Category).
