Student comments on Energy Night 2012 “All in all, this year’s event, which was building on the success of last years, succeeded in breaking new boundaries and walls, while building important links in Ireland’s energy sector.....something special has been created with this event and its future looks extremely bright.” “The event has increased the awareness and understanding of the research being undertaken in the area of energy. The panel discussion brought up some broad issues in relation to energy efficiency, supply and demand.” “I've learned about the energy potential for Ireland and the direction Ireland should go to secure its energy supply. The poster session was an excellent way to show the research done in the area of energy.”

* 'CodeNinjas' Unmasked in App Competition for Galway Student Developers - Galway's first app-oriented competitioin reveals talented coders among the NUI Galway and GMIT student population. Thursday, 22 March, 2012: The competition was designed by local businesses and academics to train and encourage students to be creative in the cultivation of their own tech ideas. Individuals and groups were encouraged to build web and mobile applications, and were given a number of tutorials and workshops along the way. The first prize of €500 in the group category was given to the app ’What’s the Score’, created by NUI Galway students Mike Rockall and Con Crowley, who are both from Oranmore. ’What’s the Score’ is a mobile application for taking scores during any type of sports game, and for reporting both ongoing and final results through a website to interested parties. The individual winner prize of an iPad went to GMIT student Cathal Mac Donnacha from Rossaveal, creator of ’iSpeak’. This application allows people with differing native languages to communicate with each other through a Windows Mobile application. One person speaks in their phrase, it is converted to text and sent to a translation service, and the result is spoken to the second person in their native language. See codeninja.ie.
