Hannath Estate agents where contacted about the possible of getting involved in Unit 36 (Exploring Computer Apps). Hannath's where sent a copy of the assignment brief for their input, which they made a few suggestion as to what they would like to see in a mobile app for their business. The Sales director for Hannath's then came in and talked to the students for an hour about what an estate agent did, Hannath mission statement and their vision for a mobile application. Students asked questions and left the session with a better understanding of what they were looking to produce.  Hannath's send a document with their colour scheme to be used in the app. Hannath have also offered to give prizes to the best apps.
An article (with Michael's editing) to be put on our website and local papers. Hannath's will be coming back in January/February to judge the best apps and to give out the prizes. It is hoped that Michael and Brian can both be present for this presentation and I will take a few pictures and write up another article for our website and the local press.
