| 2009 CCI 8-Hour Start up Competition |
|
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 and industry partners.
The Competition will be held Friday, November 13th from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. in Woodward Hall, Room 154 All CCI students are encouraged to participate. Go to the following link for more information.
