Notes de l'éditeur
- Photos taken at the March 17, 2016 Student Project Showcase events, where student teams get to show off a product or system they’ve developed for a class. In many cases, student groups work with an actual client from corporate to university or nonprofit organizations, building things like websites, mobile applications or robots.
- MICHAEL CAREY and CHEN LI Professors of Computer Science Professors Michael Carey and Chen Li received $750,000 from the National Science Foundation and nearly $400,000 from corporations — including Google, Oracle and HTC — to continue the development of their big data system, AsterixDB, which promises to be the most versatile of the platforms aimed at managing big data. JOSH TANENBAUM Professor of Informatics Professor Josh Tanenbaum is an expert in game design and digital storytelling. A primary focus of Tanenbaum’s work is studying the sense of identity transformation that takes place in a game or interactive storytelling system. He designs games and digital storytelling systems that leverage tangible objects and props to give people a gateway into fictional worlds. Tanenbaum is pioneering the development of physical narrative environments, interactive costume design and hybrid physical/digital storytelling systems capable of literally bringing a player into the game. GLORIA MARK Professor of Informatics Professor Gloria Mark received numerous accolades for her work in social computing — how individuals, groups, society and technology mutually influence each other. Her research has been featured in The New York Times, and in 2014 she participated in a panel at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference on focus in the workplace. She also received a Google Faculty Research Award for a project that seeks to understand how people’s focus, mood and stress change while using digital media in a real-world context.

Winners of the 2014 Butterworth Product Development Competition. 1st Place Prize Winners ($7,500): Blueberry Karan Sekhri, Adrien Deguzman, Sheng Xia, Tai Cao, Derek Omuro 4. ICS Day, annual student festival, includes games, coding competitions, a dunk tank and live entertainment by UCI dance crews. 5. Google is a regular visitor to Bren Hall, hosting tech talks and career workshops, as well as helping to sponsor events hosted by student organizations. 6. Josh Tanenbaum run The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.
