2011 NCIT Summer School

The NCIT Summer School takes place each year right after the exam session. At its 8th edition  and the second with Android projects, the NCIT Summer School has six Android projects in three categories:

• Internet of Things: the smartphone is one of the first things with enough sensing and communication capabilities to enable the vision of IoT;
• Android Media Server: allows smartphones to play media on DLNA enabled TV-sets;
• Game Development: 2D and 3D applications are fun to develop and also serve as a good reason to study problems such as getting data from accelerometers, computing collision detection and enabling artificial intelligence for adversaries.

Most of the students are undergraduate, in the 2nd or 3rd year of study and will have the opportunity to continue their work throughout the entire year. Older students, in their 4th and final year, have been happy to create a bootcamp for the students at the Summer School. The story of the bootcamp can be found in this article, part of the Tutorials section.
