Team EAT | Vertek Solutions

Hello everyone,

On behalf of the team, we would like to thank everyone for their support and guidance as we embark upon an exciting international competition. We will surely do our best in Paris, France and hopefully a Top 3 finish in the Embedded Development competition in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2008 World Finals!

There will be a live broadcast and videos online from the Imagine Cup and MSDN’s Channel 8 websites.

I will try my best to update our blog with every single event and update twitter in a play by play fashion. It’s like you’re there with us.

Once again, thanks everyone!

Go Beach!
Go EAT!

We would like to remind you that CSULB’s College of Engineering is having a Press Conference on Monday, June 30th @ 3PM in ECS-105 for Team Embedded Applications Technology.

Also, there will be a little get together Monday night @ 7PM at Bob’s house to celebrate and congratulate the team for making the finals. RSVP to get directions to Bob’s place.

If all is planned correctly, the press conference can be seen live online @ BeachTV or on TV in your local Long Beach Charter (Ch 18) or Lakewood Comcast (Ch 28).

The brochures have been printed. A little compromise here and there and lots of ‘No, I will not do it.’

Can I get a doll house made out of Plexiglas? Oh, here it is. Thanks!

The Dean had Mike Fritz create for us a House made out of plexiglass that matches our animation video. We will be bringing this along to France with us… hopefully in one piece.

See them below. Who wants to create/add furniture?

The prototype of the Automatic Power Cycling Network (APCN) Kiosk Software used the default Windows CE Shell. The default shell reminded you of the Windows 98 theme, what Microsoft now affectionately calls the Classic theme. It reeked of drab, flat colors and boxy frames. Each page in the prototype was achieved using the TabControl. It was clearly evident that this will not work with our tiny (7″) widescreen touchscreen LCD. Common sense dictates that the buttons must be big enough for the fingers to touch and text to be read.

Now we present the VerTek Solutions poster. It was designed by Jorge Hurtado from Public Affairs & Publications at California State University, Long Beach.

The dimensions of the printed design will be 24″ x 36″ and will be displayed next to our booth in an easel at Imagine Cup in Paris, France.

The consensus is that we like it. It is simple and green.

Look at that giant light bulb over the houses… it’s like a monster hovering over a suburban setting. IT’S PERFECT.

See it after the jump.

Here is a copy of the invitation from the College of Engineering at Cal State Long Beach to 1000 people, or so we heard. Mostly went out to local press and local important people (ie, CoE Deans from other Universities).
