After another semester of BCM 114 there's always a time where you reach the end, in this case the end of our Digital Artefact (our, as in myself, Anthea and Leah). After experimenting with the digital artefact for the first few weeks of semester 2, and going through the processes of Ideating and Prototyping, we …
Do you like Pina Coladas?

Time 2 Talk.
Catchy right? Tis a new season, which means another idea, another thought, another process, that may or may not (hopefully) turn into something more than just a University Digital Artefact.
