A few weeks back, we brought you spending a chunk of their summers making their pitch at BizCamp in Irving’s MacArthur High School. Now, the results are in, and top honors went to two of the kids we spotlighted -- the sister-brother team of Alisha and Danyial Hamid.
Their winning project: “Edloc,” a software system to automate school security and attendance. They won $750 and now advance to a regional contest next May.
Second prize went to Heidi Jimenez and YsauriBrito for Sno-CoCo, a mobile snow cone cart working with Irving parks to provide an alternative to ice cream and water. Their prize: $500.
Amber Amador and Jordan Floyd finished third (and won $300) for Galaxy Taxi, a “taxi” service that transports students to their after-school activities in the Irving area and builds mentoring relationships.
