Egerton students win Safaricom app challenge

A team of Egerton University graduates, who came up with a mobile-based web application that allows youth to access campus news though their mobile phones, won this year’s Safaricom Appwiz Challenge.

In its second year running, the challenge seeks to identify and develop successful early seed stage mobile technology based companies. The winning solution, named Magazine Reel, compiles news stories and notices from university administration campuses and presents it in an easy-to-read format that suits university students.
