Who:: College of Computing and Informatics (CCI)
What:: 8-Hour Start-Up Competition
Where:: Woodward Hall, Room 154
When:: Friday, November 13th, 2009 from 8:00 a.m. –
5:00 p.m.
Why:: The 8-hour Start-Up Competition is an
innovative approach to connect students with prospective employers in the
Charlotte area. It is designed to demonstrate students' ability to take on a
challenging real-world problem by building a working prototype of a web
application that solves the problem in 8 hours. Students must also present to a
panel of judges, comprised of faculty and industry affiliates, to convince them
that their project should be funded. Students can either use Microsoft .NET,
Java or LAMP to construct the prototype. Criteria include: functionality,
security, and usability. A working lunch will be provided during the
competition. Prizes are being sponsored by CCI, CCIGrads and industry partners.
How:: All CCI students are encouraged to
participate. See below:
