The University of Winnipeg and UManitoba co-organized Falling Walls Lab Manitoba, a fast-paced global competition where students pitch their groundbreaking research, in just three minutes, to a panel of academic and industry experts.

UWinnipeg undergraduate students Anitoh Atangabua, Priyanshu Mittal and Master of Science student Faith Akinyemi, all in Applied Computer Science, represented UWinnipeg alongside Yujie Ren,a recent Master of Science in Bioscience, Technology, and Public Policy graduate last week at the finals.

Ren earned second place and $750 in this exciting competition that promotes knowledge mobilization.

“This competition has been an invaluable experience for me,” expressed Ren after her win. “From preparation to delivery, the whole journey was like a problem-solving process, just as valuable as the result itself. I truly enjoyed it!”
