The three-month Orange Summer
Challenge has become an annual landmark that attracts university students to
embark upon an inspirational and impactful journey.
Over the course of the challenge, students work hand in hand with the experts
and Orange’s team to transform their creative concepts into viable ideas. To
amplify the outcomes, the challenge enabled students for the first time this
year to benefit from the skills and expertise available in Orange’s 4 primary
programs namely Coding School, the Fabrication Lab, BIG by Orange, and the
Innovation Hub.

Held under the
theme "Tech4Impact” in partnership with Nokia, Amazon Cloud Services (AWS),
and Ernst & Young (EY), this year's challenge focused mainly on developing
the entrepreneurial skills of participants to come up with ideas that address
societal challenges. In this context, students not only built their skills
throughout the challenge but also presented their ideas to the jury to evaluate
their projects. The three winners were announced during the final ceremony.
To select the
winners, the audience and jury voted during the national ceremony using
the Votepad application for their favorite project. The audience’s votes counted
for 40% of the total score, while the jury’s votes counted for 60%.
On the sidelines
of the ceremony, the CEO of Orange Jordan, Philippe Mansour, praised the ideas
of the participants that testified to the importance of nurturing the human
side of technology to serve their local communities. Moreover, he expressed his
pride that the winner of the 1st place will be representing Jordan
in the Orange Middle East and Africa’s challenge. Collectively, participants’
projects in all countries will lead the community-service efforts aiming at
creating a lasting positive impact on the bigger level.
ARFL,
which provides solutions for filling potholes, won first place, SAVERBOT, which
specializes in helping rescue teams find survivors during disasters and crises,
won second place, while Phytobase Solutions, which provides solutions for
farmers to have real-time data about their harvests by measuring soil and air
temperature, won third place.
Launched
in 14 countries in the Middle East and Africa, with 382
females and males and 57 teams, this year’s edition of Orange Summer Challenge
was nothing short of impressive enabling more youth to join the parade of
