Last Friday, we held the closing ceremony for the 21st edition of the Technology Observatory.
This year, we mentored more than 50 projects at 11 universities—something that would not have been possible without the commitment of university coordinators and professors, the enthusiasm of the students, and, of course, the dedication of our HP SCDS mentors. Thank you all for making the success of this initiative possible once again this year.
What we love most about the Technology Observatory is that it provides a valuable learning experience for everyone involved. For students, it’s their first experience developing solutions in a real-world business environment. For our teams, it’s an opportunity to learn about the latest trends in programming, explore new technologies, and connect with the next generation of talent, who bring a fresh perspective and a lot of enthusiasm to every project.
During the event, Raquel Blanco Aguirre, coordinator at the University of Oviedo, shared an idea that perfectly captures the spirit of this program: being a computer engineer goes far beyond just programming. Each project requires us to learn about a wide variety of topics: healthcare, education, architecture, the environment… It’s not enough to write good code; you have to truly understand the problem you’re trying to solve and the best way to do so. And we believe that, given the level of skill the participants demonstrate each year, we can look forward to a future full of outstanding professionals.
We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate this year’s award-winning students:
🥇 Cristina Nonide from the University of Oviedo, for HomeCraft.
🥈 Víctor Vega from CEU San Pablo University, for HortensIA.
🥉 Carlota Delgado from the University of Salamanca, for HCC-AI-Plus.
Congratulations on a job well done!
