UOWD Computer Science Students Shine at the 2023 Innovation Fair

Thursday, 18 May, 2023

As we bid adieu to the winter trimester, our senior computer science students have once again showcased their innovative prowess. The culmination of our students' educational journey was the 2023 Computer Science (CS) Innovation Fair, a competition designed to foster creative problem-solving in real-world contexts.

Our students demonstrated remarkable resilience and creativity in designing software solutions to address diverse challenges. This event allowed them to exhibit an array of skills, including problem-solving, market research, coding, teamwork, and time management.

With a total of 54 students, 12 projects, and 14 industry and academic judges, the Innovation Fair was a resounding success. The excitement was palpable as our students confidently presented their capstone projects, integrating cutting-edge computer science technologies to create novel solutions for real-world problems.

Among the projects presented were:

• Synaera: A real-time sign language translation mobile app
• Chemistic: An AR-based educational app for chemistry students
• Decoir: An AI-powered interior design tool
• Luxerium: A blockchain system for luxury product management
• Skeddy: An intelligent class scheduling system for universities
• Recallify: A memory assistant application for patients
• WSSL: A social interaction platform for university students
• AATS: An automated large-scale attendance taking system
• Giving Tree: An app managing charitable donations transparently
• Pearl Informatics: An intelligence hydroponic system for farmers
• Intelligent Roadside Assistance Application

Our hearty congratulations go out to the top three teams: Semaphore (Syneara), Icarus 2.0 (Chemistic), and Orbital (Decoir). However, the event was a testament to the innovative spirit of all our students. We couldn't be prouder of their hard work, innovative ideas, and tenacity. We look forward to seeing what our students will bring to the table in the future!
