Demo of Simon Codes at Assets 2015

Congratulations to everyone that had participated at the Kavita Lab with Simon Codes. Like Andrea Claudio said in her post, we went to Lisbon, Portugal to present a demo of Simon Codes and received the second Best Demo Award. I'm so happy for everyone and want to thanks our mentor Dra. Patricia Ordóñez.

Lisbon, Portugal! Oh, such a beautiful city! I am in love with Lisbon. But the conference was truly inspiring. This was my first participation at a conference at all. For the demo presentation, at first I was nervous but when I started to communicate with everybody it was an amazing feeling and a very satisfying experience. 

Thank you for everything Andrea, Patti, Assets 2015, Lisbon and everybody!

ACM ASSETS 2015 Conference: Lisbon, Portugal

                               

         We went to Lisbon, Portugal to present the demo. We called it SIMON CODES. Having the opportunity to meet professionals in the industry and academia is unique and bolstering. Each time I explained the scope of SIMON CODES I felt a personal satisfaction that I was able to transmit, getting the people interested in the project. The papers presented were astonishing, and the projects were of high quality and mainly oriented to the computing and accessibility for people with disabilities.

        Lisbon is a neat place with well-educated citizens and beautiful places to visit and enjoy. The morning run was our time to see the country, and we certainly took advantage of it.
