COBE seniors in Information Technology Management took top honors at the second annual Bronco APPathon held March 9, 2013. The APPathon challenge is for teams to create a new mobile or web application between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning, then give 5-minute presentations to the judges.

Team APPathetic
Team APPathetic took first place out 16 teams (65 participants). Their app is called IntelliClic; and it enables a mobile device or computer to replace a classroom clicker device. The app captures information from participants and generates a summary that can be displayed in charts or graphs. Members of Team APPathetic — Jennifer Parke, Han Park, Roger Perez and Colin Smith — won $500 each.
Team Mobile Thunder created an app – ”NoBS – The Ultimate Blue Screen Troubleshooting Tool” that captures error codes generated when a desktop computer crashes. The app uses optical character recognition to change the code into a character string that can be used to search Microsoft troubleshooting database to find suggestions for resolving the problem.

Team Mobile Thunder
Team Mobile Thunder tied another team in the best native app category. Members of Team Mobile Thunder are Jeff Pinkham , Andrew Johnson, Matt Koob and Darius Houle. They each won $100.
All but one of the teams’ members are students in ITM 497 – Mobile Apps Development class taught by Tom Cavaiani and Emerson Maxson.
