The POSTER

Our poster is almost completed.  The undergrad research conference isn't for a few weeks but we wanted to get it done early.  It is 40" x 60" of what we do and how we do it.  We feel that it is our duty to show all of the computer science guys that will be there how a poster can be 'pretty' as well as functional.  So far it looks pretty darn great and as soon as we finish fine tuning some statistical data it will be ready to send to the printers!  Along with our poster we are creating fake movie tickets with our web address so they can keep track of us online.  We'll post a picture of one on here as soon as they're finished.  This has been the most creative week of our research so far and I think it's safe to say we loved it!

UGRASP


Amy has recently joined our team of brains and has been so sweet to do all of our grunt work as we start to teach her Camtasia and Flash.  She is also preparing to take over the website updates for us.  She's one smart cookie and we're sure it will look great!  We have set up our tutoring sessions for this semester.  The dates are:
February 17 2:30-3:30
March 18 2:00-3:00
April 14 2:30-3:30
During these students will be able to bring in their code for us to look over and help them improve it. 
We are headed to the UGRASP (Utah Undergrad Research Conference) in a few weeks.  There we will be presenting a poster on our research and giving a short oral presentation.  We are really excited for this opportunity and are working to make our poster AMAZING.  Along with this we are working to revise our list of bug types to make it more streamlined and productive, adding some more information to our statistics, and drawing up new Camtasia and Flash videos!

New Year, New Semester

Well we are back for the first day of spring semester today!!  Thus far for the new semester we have come up with our new schedule, have adopted a new group member Amy, and our website is up and running.  We won't have any new bugs to classify for a while so now we begin building more flash games and online tutorials for some more of the bugs that we classified last semester.  It looks like we have passed the hardest part of the learning curve for Flash, Camtasia, and HTML so this semester should be pretty smooth sailing and we will be posting videos and games like crazy.  Watch out 2010 here we come!
