Team Frontrvnners

Included among the teams that participated were restauranteurs, sports promoters, high school sports programers, biomedical engineers and special interest groups. I was invited to join the panel of judges for the final rounds presentations this semester in SFU Surrey. I heard all the final round pitches and helped to select the winning teams. In fact there were at least four FIC alumnus involved in the team presentations, of which I recognized.
