Trade Show

Yesterday I attended the bussiness and professional speaking class's trade show for applications made by students. There were 6 different booths each with visuals of their unique application. These students looked like they put alot of time and effort in the applications they made and I noticed they were each in groups of about 4 to 6 people so of course group work was involved. Each group member was dressed up in professional attire and were extremly friendly while enlightening me about what their App. stood for and how it would be useful to me. There was one app that stood out to me at the tradeshow which was called "The Spartan Book Finder Application". This application stood out to me because the group members explained that since students need to get books every semester of school, "The Spartan book finder App" will help students find the books they need by comparing prices of the book side by side that way the students gets the very best price and knows exactly where to get the book. I feel like this app could be efficiemt to me because I would be able to use it to compare pricing of my textbooks so conveniently that it would save me alot of time and stress. I was impressed on how well these students knew their app and every little detail of planning that went into it.The trade show was held in the Almaden room located in the student union. I enjoyed all of the App project ideas and was truely
impressed with the students who came up with the ideas. I think it's great how the comm department puts on events such as the tradeshow because it allows the students to interact with other comm students and give feedback to their peers if necessary.

  2. That app would help students a lot during the first few days of the semester when students are looking for books. Expect great things from an app like this.
