The School of Computing (SoC) at the College of Science and Mathematics (CSAM) proudly celebrated the achievements of its graduate students at the Spring 2025 Capstone Showcase, an inspiring event that highlighted the power of innovation, collaboration, and applied learning.

What set this year’s showcase apart was the real-world impact of each project. Every team partnered with an external sponsor—ranging from tech startups to nonprofit organizations and industry leaders—to develop practical solutions to real challenges. From early idealization and prototyping to full-scale development and testing, students demonstrated both technical rigor and creative problem-solving.

Held this spring, the showcase featured 14 graduate student teams, each presenting the culmination of a year-long capstone project. These projects spanned a wide range of focus areas, including software development, computer science education, and data science, reflecting the breadth and depth of expertise within the SoC graduate programs. The graduate teams were enrolled on the and course sequence taught by Dr. Vaibhav Anu.
