Innovation @ UWaterloo – 2010 ECE Design Symposium
The annual UWaterloo Electrical and Computer Engineering Design Symposium took place today at the school’s Davis Centre in Waterloo. Having had my turn at the Design Symposium last year, I was really interested to see what students have come up with this time. I had a chance to look around at the projects and talk with these students and I am really impressed with all they’ve done. There was a ton of innovation on display today.
I had a great time talking with all these bright students. I spent so much time talking to them that I only got around to seeing about 50% of all the booths! It was really interesting to find out how to put their systems together and I learned so much from the short exhibition time.
Read on to see some of the projects.
Twitter-fication
It seems that Twitter is finally reaching critical mass. I’m saying this based purely on my unscientific observation of “popular kids” beginning to use it. Well, maybe they’re not so much “popular” as they are mainstream. And by that I really mean “non-geek”. Geez, I should have just said that in the beginning.
*Update: Richard Shih pointed me to this google trend report, which shows Google’s search volume index for twitter. Tweet-tweet.
