Our talented Computer Science students recently attended the WMU Innovation Expo. Pioneers developed different products and shared them with invited guests and other students from around Kalamazoo county at the expo.
We are thrilled to announce that Elsie G. and Diana R. earned 3rd place for their amazing product, SereniSense!
Their innovative project impressed the judges and showcased their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. We couldn't be prouder of their hard work and dedication!
Way to go, Elsie and Diana! And congratulations to all of our Pioneers for their creative ideas and informative presentations.
