On 9th of March 2017, my team and I participated in International Invention, Innovation and Design (IIID) Johor 2017 organized by UITM Johor held in Grand Ballroom, Amansari Residence Resort Bandar Seri Alam, Johor. With its motto ‘The Power of Innovation: From Prototype to Commercialization’, the objective of this exhibition is to

i. Promote a culture of innovation and creativity among professionals, university students and students from various fields.

ii. Highlighting the R & D and new inventions in the field of Science, ICT, Social Sciences, Business and Management.

iii. Generate designs and inventions that can be commercialized at national and international levels.

The exhibition is divided into three categories which are Professional, Tertiary and school level.

We entered the Science and Technology category under Professional level with me as the team leader.

We use the same product as in INATEX before but with some improvements on the presentation.

Since this was my second experience entering an Innovation competition, I am quite relax and a little be more prepared on the questions that might be asked by the panels 🙂

And Alhamdulillah for IIID Johor 2017, our project managed to get a GOLD MEDAL award.

I am beyond happy with these achievement considering that just recently I have the guts and courage to join such competition :)..

Macam dah lama tinggal competitiveness spirit tu time zaman sekolah2 dulu jer 🙂

But again thanks Allah SWT for the blessing :)..
