Announcement
Introduction:
Every year, final year computer science students dedicate two
semesters to their final year project as part of their degree
qualification.
Since 2008, these students present the
results of their project to the departmental public as well as
to local IT industry.
This event is organized in conjunction with IT Wales,
Software Alliance Wales, and Technocamps.
The aim of the fair is to provide students with a professional
environment where they:
- Present and defend their final year projects
- See how their own project fits into the context of
the entire year's results
- Network professionally with IT companies.
During the fair, students are by their exhibition space
for discussions with visitors from the entire Swansea Bay
area community. This is a great opportunity to come and meet
our latest group of graduates as well as to network with visitors
from local academia and industry. Prizes are also awarded
on the day.
Sponsors:
We are pleased to announce sponsorship of student prizes
from Mark Sutherland of
MBDA-Systems.com.
If you would like to get involved as a sponsor, please
let us know.
Volunteers:
We are looking for 20-25 volunteers to demonstrate their
project to local school students.
Volunteers are provided with lunch.
Please notify Robert S Laramee if you would like to volunteer.
Project Prizes:
There are a number of student prizes awarded including:
- Best student project-voted by school students
