Ma-a NHS’ Soliver Mazo won 2nd Place in STEP Competition

http://nickilo.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/step04.jpgIt was a great day for Ma-a NHS for winning another Division wide ICT contest and this time in DepEd’s 7th STEP ICT Competition held at the Davao City National High School campus. Soliver Mazo of IV-Rizal built a fancy homepage as his entry for STEP’s Homepage Building Contest and the judges decided that it was the 2nd best homepage created in the competition.
The contestants were given a task to make a homepage about the significance of this year’s STEP Competition. The contestants were judge in the following criteria: Layout and design, Content, Non linear features and Presentation (elevator pitch style)

 

http://nickilo.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/step01.jpgSoliver Mazo’s homepage was one of the most sophisticated in the contest featuring rollover images (he is the only one who used that particular technique), hyperlinks, embedded images and advance layout e.g. feathered borders. But, the judges thinked that the ultra-feminine homepage from the girl contestant of DCNHS, who used stylish frames, was the best.
Ma-a NHS also won 3 other events in the STEP Competition and they are Wilfredo Ambrocio of IV- Rizal won 1st place in Cocktail Mixing and Bartending, Allan Cordero of IV - Bonifacio won 4th place in Hair Fashion and Mharry Jhoe Venturado of IV - Rizal in Sardine Mixing. Good job for the Ma-a NHS delegates for the successful participation of the said event.
