Northampton Business School is part of The University of Northampton and provide undergraduate and post graduate courses. Each year in the new intakes induction week they run an all-day fun activity to get the new students really thinking about business, and at the same time get to know not only their fellow students but also their new tutors too.
This year they wanted to improve upon previous years formats, and so I was approached to provide a website to support the activity throughout the day. Students were able to interact with the process via. the website, and thanks to a dedicated publishing team were able to see more or less real time updates throughout the day.
This years theme was based around the ever popular BBC series; Dragons Den.

      ....Special thanks to Mark van Bellen for creating and developing the truly excellent software.... It was an impressive team effort!

Our work on this project is likely to evolve further for subsequent years as we develop some bespoke code-base to help to automate the game.
