Mobile CSP’s 8th Annual App Expo

The Mobile CSP Expo made its return this year for the 8th Annual event. Students who were enrolled in the Mobile CSP course during the 2021-22 academic year were invited to demonstrate the apps they had created during the course under the guidance of trained Mobile CSP teachers.  This year's expo included 40+ app submissions, 7+ schools, 8+ teachers,  over 100 students, and over 20 hours of engagement on Flipgrid! Thank you to all of those who participated! 

Attendees had the opportunity to view and interact with the submitted apps via Flipgrid. Six CS professionals served as judges to score the submitted apps on criteria such as creativity and social impact.  Winners received certificates and prizes and ALL participating students received cloud storage space from Paperspace!

The event concluded with a virtual college fair and awards ceremony on Friday, May 20th.  Some special video messages were shared from content creators and we were forunate to have two featured speakers: Beatrice Kutis (Sr. Software Engineer at Target) and Ref Aubrey (All Elite Wrestling).
