From AI-powered tools that support dementia care to platforms that translate natural language into data insights, computing students showcased a wide range of software solutions at the Spring 2026 College of Computing Capstone Expo.
Held on April 27 in the Exhibition Hall, the event highlighted the technical skills and creativity of third- and fourth-year students in the School of Computing Instruction (SCI).
The Expo marks the culmination of a semester-long course in which computer science and computational media majors design products that address real-world needs. In the program, students either collaborate with external clients to deliver real-world solutions or develop startup-driven prototypes under the mentorship of industry professionals.
Volunteers from industry and the campus community judge teams on functionality, aesthetics, and presentation.
Winning Teams:
TimeSlips AI Integrated Mobile App
This project is a mobile app with questions and image prompts to support facilitators in meaningfully engaging people with dementia. AI integration transcribes sessions and lets facilitators review them, get feedback, and develop them into stories.
DataChat: Natural Language Analytics for Non-Technical Teams
This project is a ChatGPT-like app where users can upload CSV files (usually sports-related). The app will analyze the CSV file and provide detailed results, including why the results turned out the way they did.
Healthy Actions
This project focuses on preventing weight gain. The web app allows users to assess their health and behaviors at the beginning, midpoint, and end of a 12-week program to track progress and support healthier outcomes.
Georgia Tech alumna Christine Ling (BS Industrial Engineering 2025) mentored two of the winning teams, TimeSlips and Healthy Actions.
“These teams have been a joy to work with from start to finish. They consistently approached their project with thoughtfulness, realism, and a clear sense of purpose,” Ling said.
“What stood out most was their motivation and collaborative spirit. They were proactive in seeking clarification, eager to refine their ideas, and genuinely invested in producing a polished, high‑quality final product. Their steady work ethic and willingness to iterate made them an absolute pleasure to support.”
Entrepreneurial Capstone Winning Teams:
Optimis
This project attributes cloud billing changes to specific runtime behaviors in a developer’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, helping teams avoid unexpected billing surprises.
PulseAPI
This project converts real application programming interface (API) traffic into an OpenAPI contract and detects deviations from it, helping teams catch breaking changes before they affect production systems.
