Blacksburg, VA, May 1st, 2015: In the past weeks the team at Pass It On! Inc have been working constantly to improve the site. The site now has basic functionality for almost all features and is also fully mobile accessible! The team as always is looking for feedback on the site, so feel free to report any feedback at: http://goo.gl/forms/5vqxOhLQEs
This week the team presented Pass It On! at the Virginia Tech Undergraduate Research in Computer Science (VTURCS) Spring Research Symposium. Feedback was wonderful and the team had a great time at the event. At the end of the event the team placed exceptionally well during the results taking home:
● 2nd Place for the Marston Award
● 2nd Place for the People’s Choice Award
● 3rd Place for the Capstone Award
Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support them!
“VTURCS was a great event and was a good chance to explain Pass It On! to people who likely weren’t familiar with the project! I think that the feedback we got was overwhelmingly great which really shows how committed we’ve been to this project” said Matthew Chittum, a frontend developer for Pass It On!.
“Our project was so different from everyone else at VTURCS I was worried how well we would be received. I was both confused and excited when I heard our names called not once, or even twice but three times. It is an amazing feeling to know that our hard work was appreciated and recognized” from Minahm Kim, developer for Pass It On! Reported.
“It was neat to go out to VTURCS and see all of the other projects and our peer’s work from this semester. I was really proud of our team and the work that we have done this semester!” Joshua White
Currently the team is finishing up the evaluation for Pass It On! and are considering their future options. The team plans to consider developing Pass It On! through the summer to work with their sponsor Dr. Horning to perform a more thorough evaluation with his Graduate students and to possibly try to do a regional test on Virginia Tech’s campus! Be on the look out for future news from Pass It On!
