Stony Brook University SUNY Korea

Kyungbae Min (double major in AMS and CS), Dukyoung Eom (CS), Hyerin Choi (double major in AMS and CS), and Sije Park (CS) were awarded the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ in the SBU Hacks 2022, a hackathon competition. 
Here is an interview with one of the team members. 

Hello, I am Kyungbae Min. I’m a senior and majoring in AMS, also studying CS as a minor. I’m currently working as a front-end developer.

1. Why did you choose to study at SUNY Korea?
The biggest advantage I thought was that I can experience an international environment and curriculum in Korea. For me, burdened with the desire to study abroad, I expected that high-quality lectures provided in English and the school's compulsory policy of sending students to the US in their senior year would provide me with a broader perspective, and I am currently experiencing that.

2. Briefly explain the competition you participated in, and what prize you were awarded. 
‘2022 SBU Hacks’ is a 48-hour hackathon held by SBU, MLH (Major League Hacking), and a lot of sponsors. It is a competition in which participants form a team of up to four people to independently create projects using any technology in the form of software or hardware for 48 hours.
About 300 participants from all over the country, from undergraduates to graduate students, gathered to devise novel business models and projects using technology, and on the last day, they were evaluated by judges in each field through demos.
Our team created ‘Plog-In’, a web app targeting mobile platforms under the topic of Plogging, and won the ‘Cleanest UI/UX’ category among about 60 projects.
