Through a joint effort that explains the basic logic of an algorithm: the constant repetition of a well-defined finite number of ordered rules that are routed to an equally clear purpose, three students of the Faculty of Computer Science (FCC) of the BUAP were imposed in the University Mobile Apps tournament (TuApp) to get first place in the special category of apps for smart cards, with their project «Virtual Credential BUAP».
Iván Pérez Vázquez, Isaiah Carrera Campos Giovanni Ventura and Salazar are the names of the three students with the presentation of its software, an application that searches the university BUAP can identify and access various services of the institution, placed in the top of this annual event organized by the Catholic University of Chile and in its 2014 edition called university from countries like Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru and of course Mexico.
The initial state of the algorithm, the input:
To develop software that meets several needs of the student, such as personal identification or performing various school procedures, this team traced a path, and the first thing he did was build a strong and competitive team with students from different races, commented Giovanni, a student of the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science.
The boot is very important because that’s where the procedures are established routines to follow instructions or statements. Within the initial process of this shared work, Giovanni, just 22 years old, played an important role: he glimpsed development opportunities and convinced with his emotional speech but carefull, their peers. First Isaiah, after Ivan, both were infected by the interest of his friend, a young energetic and recognized by their classmates as sesame of all moles.
His was the idea of creating your company. The named LabCode. In this student Computer Science, Graphic Design, Mechatronics, Engineering Materials includes such degrees of BUAP. Despite his young age, the initiative has several projects with potential to be sponsored or purchased by companies recognized for its innovation in the development of hardware and software.
Among these initiatives is «Credential Virtual BUAP» project that they won that competition and which aim to position the BUAP as the first Mexican institution to take advantage of NFC (Near Field Communication) applications that enable wireless communication short-range high frequency, and facilitates the exchange of data between devices, in this case, personal mobile phones (smartphones).
The TUI: Santander University Smart Card, features NFC; It is the credential that is assigned to BUAP university as a means of identification and, if the student so requests, performs the function of a debit card.
The Santander Group is interested in developing executed by university BUAP, who would serve on the decision of the directors of this group in Mexico, as brand representatives at the Third International Congress of TUI.
sequential structures
Key element for the implementation of the project was teamwork and discipline, but also recognize the abilities of each to plan and execute each task.
Carry an organization such success was not easy. Achieve projects of international importance, recognized by organizations such as Santander and the Catholic University of Chile itself, leader in the region, involved a remarkable effort. Lead the team, despite the vicissitudes of daily living that entails, was the challenge which took Ivan, considered by his peers as the mediator, the geek; described himself as the matadito, who knows very well copy because of their adaptive intelligence or logic, able to articulate the efforts of others.
Isaiah, the last of the triad, is the most serious personality, the more controlled face. Goes to the gym regularly and urban cyclist. Your friends admire his talent for programming. Recognize that without their efforts, nothing that at one time thought would be a reality.
The output results. The data obtained
To finalize its five months of work they had three minutes to present 180 seconds to give as much information as possible, innovation, purpose and scope of the proposal, the most substantial data. They had to convince about 15 judges.
By that time knew their skills. They installed on your hotel defined strategy. Trial, trial and error.
From beginning to end, decision after decision, clearly each scheduled task, the three university BUAP achieved their purpose, one of the first challenges that this trio of entrepreneurs has taken with the notion that all, without distinction, should be well with excellence.
