I remember somebody once said that Boholanos are average people but with above average talents.
And I’m pretty sure it’s true and the students from Holy Name University are just few of those people who exhibit these above average talents.
Last March 3, students from Holy Name University engineering department held an event in BQ Mall where they showcased their projects.
These innovations range from a mobile application that searches for the shortest path from a user’s location to a hotel or gasoline station within Tagbilaran City to a computer vision technology that is capable of collecting vehicle count, density and processing results of traffic congestion.
There’s also a Dora the Explorer-inspired hackpack prototype that alarms whenever someone attempts to steal something from your bag.
These are just few of the awesome things Boholanos are able to create. And this coming Startup Weekend we’re looking for these kind of people to develop their simple ideas to world changing world class startups!
You don’t have to be techie, all you need is the guts to go out there and do something.
If you want to join Startup Weekend Bohol 2, you can purchase a ticket at www.swb2.eventbrite.com. Early bird rate ends this March 7!!!

So, curious about what Startup Weekend is? Want to know what happens during the three days of grueling days and nights. Here’s a little glimpse of what goes down during these three days from a participant himself:
In school, we typically run into situations where we are forced to finish a school project in a short span of time. To beat the deadline, you are thrown into a weekend overnight gathering with your projectmates trying desperately to finish your project before Monday.
There is coffee, there are midnight shenanigans, good memories with friends and a whole lot of stuff that goes down over the weekend.
But Startup Weekend is a lot more than that.
You’re given 54 hours over the weekend to create something. From ideation to creation, Startup Weekend will up the stakes of your typical school weekend project overnight with a taste of startup drama!
You will get to feel how your idea gets turned down because you’re awesome world changing idea wasn’t given any stars at all. You will get to experience being high in Cloud 9 because a lot of people love your idea and has been chosen as one of the ideas that get to pitch at the final pitching showdown!
Then magically, over the weekend, you meet your team, yes, your A TEAM! Finally! You start working on the startup and then you get into problems. Your idea may not be viable after you try to validate the idea.
You have a couple of choices, pivot your idea, overhaul your whole idea, or push it.
After thinking over what is your team’s next move, you and your team reach a consensus. We’ll make a couple of changes to the idea!
Then pitch day comes and you are ball full of nerves, you stand up on stage and you either fail at pitching what your idea is to the judges and audience or you will flawlessly and eloquently present your idea and well, might get a shot at winning the Startup Weekend Bohol 2nd Edition winner!
And after accepting the reality that entrepreneurship is no mean feat – that there is a whole lot to starting a startup than just an idea and technical skills, you understand why a lot of people say that starting a business is risky but a risk worth taking
After all the drama you go through Startup Weekend, you look back and realize how much you have grown over a short span of time and how much you enjoyed getting out there and doing stuff and not just talking over and over and over your idea like a broken record.
