The School of Computer Science's Ryan Schott and his team came in 2nd place at the recent Ryerson Social xChange. The event brought together students from regional universities to develop solutions that would address broad social issues and have a lasting impact in Canada. 


Ryan, a 4th-year Software Engineering student shared the award with teammate Monique Chan, a 4th year Arts and Science student. The pair met in the Ideas Congress/Feeding 9 Billion classroom during the 2016 fall semester where they worked to develop solutions to address food waste. Their solution, known as Bruise Bar, looks at repurposing ugly fruit into smoothies and other products that would be available to students on campus. 

Ryan and Monique were awarded $1,000, as well as entrance to the Social Venture Zone at Ryerson to continue developing their solution.
