This semester in the Introduction to Information, Technology, and Computing class, students have been working on developing a mobile app. Students were given ten weeks to develop an idea, form a team, and develop an app. This Thursday, they were able to showcase their project to their fellow students, faculty, and staff members.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned a lot about sprite making and how to work within a team of various personalities and talents \u00a0to create a video game. It was challenging and rewarding to see something I created come to life,\u201d says DET student, Hayley Hand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each team performed exceptionally well, thoroughly impressing the faculty.\u00a0\u201cThis is always an exciting event for the students and the faculty,\u201d Dr. Burton says, \u201cThis is where we get to see the full app or game that they have been working on all semester.\u00a0We were thrilled with the results and what our students accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When asked, many teams stated that they would like to continue working on this project and eventually get their app to the point where it can be published in the App Store or Google Play store.\u00a0Shapes & Colors\u00a0<\/em>team member,\u00a0Nathan Sherrill reflects, \u201cThis project challenged me to learn a new programming language and be able to develop a mobile app in a 10 week time-frame. It was challenging to do so, but it was rewarding to see I had a final product that was complete and functioning by the end. As Dr. Burton says, I am ready to \u201cmake 10\u200bs\u200b of cents\u201d for each purchase of my mobile app.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some of the most notable teams included Barista Buddy, The Unfamiliar Path, Spinball, and Shapes & Colors.<\/p>\n
