Kuala Lumpur – Team X00FF00, comprising Lim Choon Yun and Breena Theseira, both final year Software Engineering students, stood out among the finalists as the First Runner Up of the ‘Go Green in the City’ competition organised by Schneider Electric. Their project, named Infinite Loop, successfully addressed the needs of energy management by proposing the creation of oxyhydrogen gas through electrolysis process, in replacement of conventional petrol fuel fumes. Among the 184 teams that took part in the competition, both teams from APU emerged as finalists of the competition.
