It's time to see your creations!

11th of April is the last day of uploading!

The time passed, the first phase of our competition is ended and the jury is eagerly waiting to check the quality of your projects.  It's time to continue our quest and proceed to the second phase of the contest. You are now asked to send your work to us for checking. You have 3 possibilities to upload the project:

1. Use any ftp client (CuteFTP, FileZilla etc) to connect to ftp://ftp.infomatrix.ro . To login, you will need the same username and password that you've been using to register the project and edit its data on our website.

After logging in, please create a file called info.txt. This file should contain the name of your project and category for which the project is participating. Then you should create 3 folders on your FTP: docs, binary and src.

i. Binary is for the executable files of your project (in case of Digital Content and Computer Art - it is the compiled file of your creation)

ii. Docs will contain the documentation of your project. If installation is necessary, include also an installation section in these documents. Please do not forget to write about the developing platform or necessary software (i.e. Delphi 7, Photoshop, Excel etc).

iii.Src should include the source code of your programs or the raw file of your project (for Digital Content or Computer Art). The presence of source code is not compulsory, but commission might add some extra points for it. In any case, we assure you that sources files you will send will not be published or commercialized.

Include in each of these folders the necessary files.

2. You can use your own ftp, school ftp or any 3rd part website (like www.megaupload.com, www.rapidshare.com etc) , send an email to info@infomatrix.ro with the link where you have uploaded the files (please keep the folders format as above) to download them and copy to our ftp. Please include in the email the name of your project, username, country and category for which the project is participating.

3. If your project is not so big in size you can attach it to email and send it to us by mail. (don't forget about the folders structure! And please include in the email the name of your project, username, country and category for which the project is participating)

As an advice, we recommend that you concentrate on the documentation of your projects. Please present clearly all strong points of your project (even for categories like Computer Art and Digital Content - write about the ideas that made you start this project and don't forget to include details about installation, compatibility and so on).

We would like to wish good luck to all of you, hoping that we'll see each other at the final phase of InfoMatrix! We thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance in any problems that you may encounter.

InfoMatrix 2008 – together for the future

Each of us has a unique skill to contribute to the future and together we can change the world, so we invite you to participate to the 6th edition of The International Project Competition InfoMatrix and show us your ideas for a better and secure world!

The contest allows students to experience six days of scientific and cultural exchange, it emphasizes the importance of science and IT, and it inspires and encourages young people to take an interest in research.  

The talents and the capacities wait to be discovered. All seeds want to become trees and all buds want to flower. InfoMatrix is a garden for the young talented students to exhibit their work and also a drop of contribution to intercultural peace. A single drop may not be so important itself; however it is a fact that such drops add up to become an ocean.

This is your chance to innovate and create, to show the world your skills at comprehension, analysis, problem solving, coding, debugging, resource management, self control and communication! It’s your chance to use the power of technology to change the world, to have fun and win! This is also your teachers’ chance to measure the effectiveness of their teaching and leadership, so register and participate!

You may visit the previous edition's website at http://2007.infomatrix.ro . Results from last year are also displayed there.

Once again, welcome and if we can do anything for you, please ask.
