University of Missouri - St. Louis, One Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, MO 63121
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7
8AM - 7PM

TOPIC: “Build a game, desktop, mobile, or web application to illustrate or visualize the impacts of climate change so as to educate and inspire people to action.”

STUDENT’S ROLE: As a student participant, you will help your mentor and team of 2 other students successfully conceptualize and create a prototype of your application. You will learn as your mentor’s apprentice. If possible, please bring your own laptop to the event as your mentor may recommend that you download free developer tools or trial versions of commercial tools. However, UMSL will provide a laptop if you do not have one although you will not be able to download any software on it. The experience of learning from the mentor, working in a team, and having the satisfaction of taking an idea from concept to reality will be an invaluable. Thank you for making the most of this memorable opportunity!
