On February 5, Peter Morano, Chris Grove and I attended the launch reception for the KnappLab at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The Knapp Center, headed by Nik Rokop, has built out a mobile development lab to teach students how to develop real-world mobile applications. The lab practices what it preaches; even the Lab's web site is a mobile site.
At the KnappLab, students have access to two Macs and one Windows machine fully equipped with development environments for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile. They have the chance to work on student projects or projects entrepreneurs bring to them.
We're excited to see a leading university make such an investment in young mobile app developers. These students certainly have an open door at KeyLimeTie when they're looking for internships or full-time positions doing the work they love.
Here's a video we took giving a quick tour of the KnappLab:
