At the competition, 20 of the program’s 129 projects passed the preliminary and main rounds and were invited to present their project for prizes.

 

The Grand Prize went to Team Vincenzo (Students Park Seon-Hong, Kim Yoon-Jeong, Park Young-Woong, Park Hyun-Jin, Lee Jung-Min, Jung Ae-Rin, and Cho Seok-Ryu) that presented its English pronunciation correction service project for those with visual impairment.
