Showcase Your Project: CodingFest Opportunity

Posted by Mingqin Yu 20 days ago, last modified 20 days ago.

Hello SENG2021 Students

It's been inspiring to see some of your innovative software applications and demos. From your demonstrations, we have been inspired by several great application ideas that solve real-world problems through introducing creative software features.

Many groups showed great passion for the project work they have done and produced very good quality software applications. I strongly recommend you to pursue the project journey and showcase it in relevant venues (e.g., academic and industry events, competitions) across the University and externally. Below is one potential venue that might be of interest to showcase and participate in this CodingFest event that is open for University students. This event accepts coding projects, besides the key areas listed, that involved solving problems through software applications. The poster submission is straightforward. The deadline is on Frida 25 Apr. There are monetary awards and of course great recognition of achievement supported by the industry. Further details can be found on the CodingFest webpage.
