Center for Applied Learning (CAL)
iExpo
The iExpo is an event where students showcase their semester projects, research, business ideas, and presentation skills in the form of a project competition. In addition to presenting their professional work, students also have the opportunity to demonstrate their personal competencies.
The event provides an excellent opportunity for companies seeking future employees to discover the talents and skills of our students. Representatives can visit the teams’ booths, give feedback, and evaluate the projects by awarding “UniCoins” as a form of professional recognition.
At the end of the event, the students and teams who collect the most UniCoins — and stand out with their performance — will be rewarded with scholarships and valuable prizes.
Simonyi International Hackathon
A hackathon is an event where creative, open-minded, entrepreneurial people from different disciplines meet together - in an intensive business development sprint - to work together to find a solution to a specific industry or technology problem or challenge. The goal is to create an MVP - which is a demo version of the product / service, NOT a prototype - during the event, thus supporting the viability of the idea. In many cases, teams continue to work on the MVP, either out of self-interest or after a hackathon, until a final, marketable solution is found. In fact, the hackathon is a challenge-based complex learning framework.
