Students enjoyed roadshows with Seventeen Magazine, Freshy Night, and a Treasure Chest competition
Students had something to be excited about this school year with Lenovo's education outreach roadshow. Held in conjunction with Seventeen Magazine, the roadshow visited universities in Bangkok and educated students on key features and technology on Lenovo's latest products like the ThinkPad Edge E220s and E420s, IdeaPad Z470 and G470.
Lenovo also supported each institution's annual ‘Freshy’ Night with prizes for the Kings and Queens, while other students were offered the chance to win a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3c when they participated in the Treasure Chest competition.
Jeerawut Wongpimonporn, Country General Manager, Lenovo Thailand, said: “Youth today believe that their technology should be complementary to their activities. At Lenovo, we encourage this and build Do machines that help digital natives achieve their goals. This education outreach program was really about Lenovo engaging youth on the available technology that Lenovo provides and where it can help ‘power-up’ their lifestyles.”
Lenovo Enriches Campus Activities
The Lenovo and Seventeen Magazine road show visited nine campuses across Bangkok including Chulalongkorn, Thammasart, Kasetsart and Bangkok Universities. Lenovo workshops were held at these venues to educate Thai students on a range of exclusive Lenovo features such as the Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows 7, which delivers faster start-up and shutdown times, and the OneKey? Rescue System, for quick data backup and recovery. The other workshops focused on a variety of topics designed to aid students on their courses including sessions on creating multimedia presentations.
Additionally, Lenovo supported each university’s annual Freshy Night where Kings and Queens were awarded THB 5,000 each and became brand ambassadors. The Kings and Queens appeared in a fashion advertisement on U-Channel, the TV channel devoted to university news.
Lenovo also held a Treasure Chest competition for the other students where they stand a chance to win a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3c. Participants had to pick the correct key in a pool of fifty keys to unlock the Treasure Chest.
