Abstract
Computer science students at the University of Regina recently had the chance to display mobile apps they developed – with a prize of $3,000 on the line, thanks to sponsorship from ISM Canada. The event, a partnership between the University of Regina and ISM, was modeled loosely on the TV show Dragons’ Den that included a celebrity panel. “Competing for this award allows the top students in the Mobile Computing course to showcase the work they have been doing this semester. Presenting and discussing their projects in this Dragons’ Den style gives them valuable experience in communicating their work to a broad audience,” explains Dr. Orland Hoeber, Associate Professor of Computer Science and instructor of the CS 455 and CS 855 courses on Mobile Computing.
