[oats-sig] Code-A-Thon Underway!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for answering all my questions in the past weeks.  They have 
all contributed to an event we've been busily organizing - SS12: Code 
for a Cause.

The Code-A-Thon has begun and is going extremely well.

You may browse all of our pictures at:

And we should have some website updates later tonight (Pacific Standard 
Time) at: http://ss12.info

We selected six projects for our Code-A-Thon:

1) Mobile Currency Reader (cell phone application that returns the value 
of a bill)
2) Word Predictor (as discussed on this list)
3) AxsJax for Wikipedia, Myspace, and possibly other sites (see 
http://code.google.com/p/google-axsjax/)
4) Dojo Toolkit project (http://dojotoolkit.org/)
5 & 6) Two binary input (switch) games

We have had over thirty undergraduate and graduate students coding this 
weekend, along with over a dozen working professionals from industry 
mentoring the students over the weekend and chipping in help.

The students seem to be having a great time and are working hard. 
Tomorrow, we have another 12 hour day, ending with a showcase where all 
of the student teams show off their, and are awarded for all of their 
hard work with donated prizes.

We hope you share our excitement, and you are all here in spirit!

All the best,
Christopher Leung
