Inventure Round 1 Complete

The first round of the GT Inventure Prize is over, and the results are in: mindrival made it to the next round!

The format of the first round was a poster presentation in a room in the gym. Each project set up a poster and talked about their idea with the judges who walked from table to table. The event lasted about 2 hours, after which time we had talked with about 10 judges.

Overall, I thought it went very well, and a lot of the judges had good ideas to offer us. One idea in particular I thought was very cool was using mindrival as a way for different schools to interact with each other. For example, a Spanish class in the US could play with an English class in Mexico.

The next round is in 2 weeks, on February 4. Before that time we hope to have user-made decks up and running as well as having the application fully translated into Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese. If there's time we'll try to have some of the language classes at Georgia Tech give the program a test run as well.
