Of the 15 eligible teams, three were from MUIC. Team Neo Librarians received an Honorable Mention Award while Mr. Shann Chongwattananukul from Team Neo Librarians also won the Iron Man Award. Team Lorax won the Special Prize while Team Insomnia bagged the Surprise Award, demonstrating their excellence in data visualization and AI technology.
