On Tuesday, December 23rd, 20 students from Faculty of Art and Design and Faculty of Science Faculty of Science and Engineering taking the "Practical Cross-Seminar (Smartphone App Development)" course began distributing "Kashii Line de DENCHA Tabi," a digital station stamp collection app developed in collaboration with Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).
The seminar brings together students from the science and engineering departments and the arts departments to carry out practical work. This time, with the aim of promoting the attractions of the Kashii Line, students from Faculty of Art and Design created designs based on the history and famous places of the area, while students from the Faculty of Faculty of Science and Engineering were in charge of developing an app that allows students to collect station stamps by scanning QR codes.
At the presentation held at JR Kashii Station on the same day, in addition to a demonstration of how to use the app, they also announced the points they focused on and the ingenuity they used in the design and development of the app, and called on people of all ages to enjoy the app.
Hinata Tokutomi (Musashidai High School), a third-year Department of Photography and Imaging Arts Faculty of Art and Design reflected, "We cleared each challenge one by one while respecting each other's opinions and discussingwith members of Faculty of Science and Engineering of Science and Technology. It was difficult to learn a completely unknown field from scratch, but I learned the importance of being proactive and interested in everything, and I've become more prepared for my future job search." Additionally, Midori Kumaso (Kyushu Sangyo University Kyushu High School), a third-year student in Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Information Science in the Faculty of Science and Technology, said, "There were times when our opinions differed from those of Faculty of Art and Design, and it was difficult to explain technical content in an easy-to-understand way, but through repeated discussions and trial and error, we were able to improve the level of perfection as a team that transcended faculties. I would like to cherish the attitude I learned from this experience of smoothly communicating with people from different fields while working to solve problems."
