In the individual competition, awards were given to the top 3 scorers.

Three of the national team awards and one of the individual awards went to participants from Teleco-Vigo.

On June 14, 2024, the online awards ceremony for the national phase of the Olympics was held. The event was organized by the Official College of Technical Telecommunications Engineers (COITT) and the Spanish Association of Graduates and Technical Telecommunications Engineers (AEGITT), along with the Conference of Directors of Schools with Degrees in the Field of Telecommunications Engineering (CODIGAT), which includes around twenty sponsoring and collaborating university schools.

In this final phase of the Olympics, teams presented and defended their projects before a panel of university professors. The jury highlighted the creativity and innovation of the projects presented by nearly a thousand enrolled students.

Among the awarded projects were a smart glove for communication with deaf-mute individuals, a fall detection device, an automatic road accident alert, a smart room that monitors daily activities, remote devices measuring water and air quality, atmospheric conditions, a programmable pill dispenser, and a physical activity monitoring and sensing system.

The competition was a great success, fully meeting its objectives.
