Where did this semester even go? April showers bring lots of flowers on Locust…and Spark showcase!
🎉 YOU’RE INVITED – SHOWCASE!
Sunday, April 27th @ 5pm
Wu and Chen Auditorium in Levine Hall
After a semester of hard work, we are excited to present all of our projects at showcase! Come check out what our teams have been building:
Franklin Benchmark: Mini-game platform for Penn students to rank themselves in everyday activities, such as arithmetic, reaction times, and button mashing.
Deerly: A platform for users to send each other uplifting "open when" letters tied to specific prompts using text, voice, or photos.
Penne: A social dining app made just for Penn students to share food recommendations, real-time reviews, and thoughts on dining hall dishes.
Into the Blue: Our companion app to Penn Museum’s “Into the Blue” exhibit to guide visitors around the use of the color blue in artifacts throughout history.
Internet Atlas: An internet mapping project where we trace how users travel across websites, visualizing personal trends and larger emergent patterns in a coordinate map system that is user-defined.
Spark Roomies: An app that gamifies the roommates’ experience by awarding points to roommates who complete their cleaning tasks.
Penn Time Capsule: A gamified system of storing photos and videos using retro gaming-style memory systems to create a nostalgic and engaging way to relive and preserve special moments.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about what we do and connect with us if you’re interested in working with us next fall. Bring your friends – we look forward to seeing you there!
