The Teleios Code Jam, conceived in the Faculty of Engineering, UWI, several years ago by Cordell Lawrence and Kim Mallalieu, first delivered through our Caribbean Internet Forum, and supported each year by Teleios Systems, has won the Microsoft Global YouthSpark Citizenship Partner of the Year Award.

The winner of the YouthSpark Citizenship Partner of the Year Award is Teleios Systems from Trinidad and Tobago. They were recognized by their determination to change Trinidad and Tobago national culture around software development. The Teleios “Code Jam” has exposed university students to real-world, team-based, collaborative software development and sparked excitement around building solutions and innovation. It has also brought together students, academia, and the industry in a creative way to create real-world solutions. (Kim Mallalieu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
