ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT WEEK: Final Presentation!!!

  • PRESENTATION. Please prepare a 10-15 presentation for next week. I will publish a schedule in a few days.
  • DEMO: Weather permitting, we will have a low-key, outdoor demo in the last 30-60 minutes of class, so please bring the technology you have, and try to make it modular. I won’t evaluate you on your project “functionality” during demo time, but it will be great to see, celebrate, and discuss your project in action!
