Last Friday, I went to the Auckland Uni and passed judgement on 10 soon-to-be-graduate engineers and their research projects. After four years of studying engineering, these guys had come up with very cool projects for their research. Since Ablaze was a sponsor for the research projects, I got to choose one team to rule them all. Well - at least to win thier category.
This year, I was judging the Software Apps category. Software Apps is a difficult category to be in because it's a little difficult to wow your audience when beside you is a swimming robotic fish that swims around without bumping things until you draw on the screen - and then it swims around in the route you drew. However, I wasn't juding that one - just the Software Apps.
| Thus, I awarded Raymond Yeung and Han Narapanich the Ablaze Software Winner of the 'Software Apps' Category for their research on studying in Second Life where I had to perform a titration using Second Life. I hadn't done a titration since Stage I Chemistry at Uni and I had never used Second Life. Auckland Uni have their own island called Long White Cloud, which has a virtual medicine center for training nurses by simulation. Naturally I started thinking about training Pick & Send users using simulation in Second Life... |
