Interactive Media Informatics: UPDATES (finally)

The long awaited update by me... in the midst of my pile of markings... *excuses excuses excuses

Anyway, i'll let the pics do the talking :)

Our prata outing, sans Alvin who was still in Brisbane then. Owe you one, Al.

Well, not too long ago, our students were involved in a photoshoot for Adobe, even 2 of our lecturers were involved, only my backview was involved :(

Worldskills 2008

This is a grand-scale competition every two years that we push our students to participate. After months and months of training, 3 of them - Daniel, Kaye and Amalina went to the Singapore Finals.

Then... we received news one morning that Amalina is the winner!!! Yay, representing Singapore in the Web Design category. Director says WorldSkills is equivalent to the Olympics...

So she will jet off to Calgary, Canada next year to compete amongst the other countries' champions.

A yummy dinner treat by the director to thank the trainers and the students for their effort, Andrew, Sankara, Rick and i also had a little part to play... tee-hee.

Ok, then moving on to TP Rawkz. It was a great success; from the feedback of the sec-school leavers, IIT school was the best, in terms of our enthusiasm, spirit and projects (of course!)

IIT Rawkz man...

Here are some projects we showcased for our diploma IMI. We tried to push the boundaries of interactivity... we don't even have to use the mouse anymore... we can use our hand and body gestures to interact.

Here is JC, our SIG president, quizzing the rawkers about IMI and giving out prizes after they played our very own F1-racing game created by our students.

After TP Rawkz, we held an immersion course for interested students so that they would understand more about our course, learn to create animation in Flash and stand a chance to win an iPod Touch... Woohoo...

The workshop was conducted by the students. They are just too great :)

Animation + Immersion = Animmersion
