Poster presentations

During the last week of class, com 435 students presented new technologies at two poster presentation sessions. My poster was endorsing MobiStores, which converts original print children's stories into digital stories available for children to read along with on virtually any digital device with a screen. MobiStories are designed to aid families that lead very busy lifestyles. Instead of parents limiting the time their children spend with mobile devices, now they can allow them to engage with their favorite stories on the go. MobiStories will have an impact on both parents and their children. Parents will be able to help their children develop critical reading skills along with developing their vocabulary and children will gain the extra knowledge they once might have been missing out on because of their family's active, busy lifestyle.
During the second wave of poster presentations, I saw a lot of new technologies that are worth checking out, such as the free Google Voice.

Envision Center

Last week when our class met at the Envision Center it was neat to see what they are working on. Researchers at the Envision Center showed us state-of-the-art technologies, such as the virtual room and the haptics machine.

People's Brewing Co.

The People's Brewing Company, a new microbrewery in Lafayette is ready to start distributing it's beers on Dec. 16th. People's Brewing wants to serve the Lafayette community with quality hand crafted beer and educate the area on the craft brewing industry. I'm really excited for it's opening and can't wait to take a tour of the brewing facility when they start public tours early next year.
