    If you remember, the whole journey started back in January, with over 90 applicants whittled down to 20. After a rigorous selection process, 7 finalists emerged.

    The finalists proceeded to the academy and on the 20th of February,  gathered at Capital Square, Lekki to demo their products to members of the faculty.

    Finally, it all culminated in the Grand Finale at Four Points by Sheraton on the 21st of February 2014. TechCabal was streamed live to a global audience. PrepClass, an online portal that helps students prepare for popular examinations, emerged winners and went home with the $20,000 prize money.

    Here are the sights from the first ever TechCabal Battlefield, 2014.
