On Wednesday, February 6th, at 4:45 PM in Wachman Hall 447, Sanford Sorkin will offer a presentation for everyone that is planning to enter a project into the Future of Computing competition, or is still contemplating it. He will cover what is expected of individuals and teams, how to make the presentation, what judges will expect and the prize structure. And if there is any doubt, what constitutes a project. The presentation will be 30 minutes in length, but Dr Sorkin will be available to answer questions for as long as it takes. There will be cookies!
