Innovation North: Annual Student Showcase

This Tuesday, the annual Innovation North Student Showcase was held in Gandhi Hall at the Leeds Met Headingley Campus. Students in their final year presented their group project, linking multimedia, internet, computing, and music together to a variety of interesting and impressive products. Several of those groups actually had clients outside of the university, who were very pleased with the professional results they got from the students' work.

In autumn 2009, the annual networking event will link again external clients with the new last-year students cohort, for a new set of exciting projects.

Student work showcase

The final year undergraduate Games Design students have just presented their team projects in our Innovation North showcase. Work ranged from industry strength character modelling to casual games prototypes to architectural visualisation of our new Rose Bowl campus building to a museum guide for the Royal Armouries - some really exciting and professional stuff. I have all of their business cards if you need to contact any of them about an injection of fresh talent.

My friend Imran Ali visited the event, and has blogged about it here.
