Week 2 (6/2/2015) Summer 2015

Week 2 came soon after the graduation ceremonies at RPI. A few students came for the first time this week. This was prearranged - due to getting a new apartment etc.

We had two presentations.

Jon Wrona talked about his summer project on Table Tome.. Here is project presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xWeacB19U9Gus-67MMenb4ndFEALwdxSmUstlFIJdJ4/edit#slide=id.p  Main idea is to provide content of spell names using community based support.

Marina and Seema presented their project StudyBuddy an android application to motivate students to keep good study habits using a plant (as a  motivator).  They plan to use Java, XML and Unity (for plant animations).

I gave a brief talk on past projects and how motivation is an over riding factor in the success of RCOS projects
