We Support the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2016 Hackathon

We at EDGEKIT Computer Systems have always sponsored and supported events that manifest our commitment to ideas we stand for and believe in.

In 2014, we sponsored the Agri Hackathon in Nueva Ecija, because we firmly believe that no humane society can progress and contribute to move forward the civilization of mankind on an empty stomach.

Now, we are gratefully supporting the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2016 to be held in PLDT Innolab at Mandaluyong City from 22 to 24 April 2016. Join us in exploring and showcasing the Filipino potential and first steps in science, technology, engineering and arts to conquer the new frontier.

Be there and together let's move the Philippine space program to infinity and beyond.

2015 Summary and Ideas on Things Aspiring-to-be-Presidents May Consider

The year 2015 has been very productive albeit quiet year for EDGEKIT as a company.

As early as December 2014, we have been quietly designing and developing for our Small and Medium Scale Enterprise clients a small business application system that provides Customer Relationship Management, Sales and Inventory Management, and the fundamental components of an Employee Payroll Management System. We are now offering this solution to interested agents and parties for evaluation and acquisition under a win-win-win situation for the agent, client and company. Please feel free to get in touch with us on this system for more details.

Agrikathon: The Agriculture-Oriented Hackathon of Northern Luzon

EDGEKIT Computer Systems is very proud to sponsor the upcoming Agri Hackathon, or more endearingly called Agrikathon since it's conception early May this year, to be held at PhilRice in Nueva Ecija from 29th to 30th of August this year. This was organized by PhilRice with the major participation of Mobility or Mobile IT for Youth.

Based on the sold out tickets, this is already a success. On our part, this is more of a sequel to the Bigas2Hack event we attended last year. We sincerely will miss Smart Communication's absence on this event, the presence of Microsoft Philippines and Eqela would be very welcome co-sponsors of the event.

Check out the rules of the hackathon here and hope to see you all there.

A Tale of Two Hackathons

Having graduated from a provincial university rather than an institute in the capital city, I saw and experienced first hand the difficulty of farming. Ironically, given the vast agricultural challenges and opportunities of the country, many if not most of my countrymen would rather work eight or more hours in the office than to get their hands dirty to produce food on the table, while the Filipino farmers who toil the land for more than those office hours get little to nothing for their effort; Pareto may be in hell for this.
