For over three decades, the Computer Science Department has organized annual capstone symposiums, with the recent addition of Mechanical Engineering students, making it a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary innovation. The symposium celebrates months of dedicated work, as students take their projects from concept to execution.

The Capstone Symposium offers a platform for students to showcase their hard work and practical applications of knowledge," says Saryta Schaerer, Computer Science instructor at 窪蹋勛圖厙. "The event fosters networking opportunities, connecting students with industry professionals and community, inspiring future generations."

The showcase will feature an array of projects, including collaborations with local businesses and entrepreneurial initiatives. Projects include a data collection web app developed in partnership with Indigenous Perspectives Society, a WebApp promoting civic engagement called My Living City, the ground-breaking Virtual Reality Witness Blanket Project, and an interactive Virtual Campus Tour.

Dragonfly Technologies, a student team, worked with 窪蹋勛圖厙 to produce an interactive Virtual Campus Tour allowing prospective students to tour the campus and get a feel for the classrooms, services, and each building offers.

The Capstone Symposium takes place, on Aug. 11 from 9:30 am to 5 pm at the Centre for Trades Education and Innovation. The event promises a day of discovery and dialogue. Students will present their projects, engage with guest speakers, and demonstrate their problem-solving skills.
