 A total of 15 teams of RCA students presented their student-led projects, which they had prepared over the past year. The event was graced by distinguished guests, including H.E. Jeong Woo Jin, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Rwanda, and Joseph Nsengimana, Minister of Education of Rwanda, as well as ICT professionals from the public and private sectors of both Korea and Rwanda.
