Our talented students from three programs:

#IT)

#IBM)
Graduate Studies
came together to form
#TeamPookieBear and competed in the Code for Hope Hackathon 2025, organized by Mizzama and SME Hub Asia in collaboration with Payap University and supported by the Community Partners Thailand Foundation (CPTF).
As the first regional hackathon to promote tech-driven social solutions, this event challenged students to innovate under real-world scenarios. Team Pookie Bear tackled the
Natural Disaster Response – Problem 2 challenge by developing a mobile-first web application prototype to help supporters find credible organizations, track impact, and stay engaged during crisis response.
The team prepared a pitch deck and delivered a 3-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A with the judges. Their solution was evaluated based on:
- Problem Clarity
- Tech Prototype
- Innovation
- Feasibility & Scalability
- Social Impact & Inclusion
We are proud of our students' dedication, teamwork, and creativity as they brought classroom knowledge to a regional tech platform for social good.
