Droidery Challenge Participants during Google I/O '17 Extended EKSU

 

Google I/O ‘17 Extended Ekiti State University was organized with a singular objective; to provide developers in Ekiti State University with the unique feel of Google I/O by including amazing features and in-depth sessions focused on building web, mobile, and enterprise applications with Google technologies such as Machine Learning, Android, Firebase, TensorFlow, Google Assistant, Google AI SDK, Kotlin, etc, coupled with the Google I/O ‘17 viewing sessions.

The objective of this event was to expose members of GDG Ekiti State University to the new developer tools and technologies and provide exciting ways and insights to using them. Also, there was a Droidery Challenge, where participants were expected to build a ‘Single-Activity’ Android app, that solves a problem. These apps were to be showcased and judged during the event.
 

The result of this challenge was a tie between​ Andela​'s ALCEkiti​ beginners,​ Adebayo Pelumi​ and ​ Ayobami Ogunlade.
Adebayo Pelumi built 'SmartAd', an Android app that allows advertisers to;
upload pictures of their product, add description, price, contact details, and provide different built-in templates which styles them, and then turns them into bitmaps to be able to share to Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.
Her app ranked as the best app idea in the event.
Ayobami Ogunlade, who also happens to be a product of the recently concluded​ #CodenoniaCodecampSeriesEKSU​, ​ built 'RockPaperScissors', a simple game with the awesome Rock-Paper-Scissors logic between a player and the system.
