IS STUDENTS ARE INCREDIBLE

I will be sharing all the projects IS students submitted for the REST API challenge we prepared with AAU Information Systems students.

🚀 RESTful API Coding Challenge – The Showdown Begins! 🚀
Attention all tech enthusiasts! After our electrifying IS TALKs session on RESTful APIs, it’s time to take your knowledge from theory to reality! We challenged the brightest Information Systems students to build something incredible using any API they could find – and the results are in! 🏆🔥
💡 The Challenge:
• Use an API from RapidAPI or any other source to build a website or mobile app.
• Showcase creativity, problem-solving, and technical prowess.
• Push the code to GitHub, attach a demo, and even host the app for extra points! 🌐
📅 Deadline: Friday, 2:00 LT (Mata) 💰 Grand Prize: 1,000 Birr 👨‍⚖️ Judge: Yohannes Haile (Your RESTful API workshop mentor!)
Now, let’s meet the incredible competitors who took up the challenge and put their coding skills to the test! 🎯💻

These seven projects will be the contenders for this version of the competition. However, it would be such an awesome experience and exposure for everyone to continue building such apps and sites that utilize free APIs online. Therefore, I would appreciate every student from every department and school in universities and colleges to participate in the next round we will finalize on April 15. Please provide your submissions to the account provided below. The prize will be the privilege of getting featured here and on LinkedIn (if it is an outstanding project).
