System analysis and design, networking, data structures, standards and policies, hardware, operating systems, programming languages and ICT trends and technology were the subject area that the students focused.

As Northern Mindanao is positioned to be the next ICT hub in the country, the quiz show has become one of the priority projects of the Oro Chamber which is aimed to showcase not only the students’ aptitude on ICT but also to promote their overall well-being through needed exposure trips and sharing of knowledge.
