I need not worry however, because the bright folks at Caribbean’s leading tertiary learning centre have provided an app, for just that.
The UWI Research Days app for Android devices provides a plethora of features to help navigate the event slated for February 17 - 19 both literally and virtually. The built-in map feature highlights the exact location of each of the events with real-time GPS tracking to guide you through the gates to the attraction.
For me, that alone makes the app an essential tool. But, there’s more, as they say.

Howard Edwards, Shane Richards and Javon Davis from the Faculty of Science and Technology, the team behind the app, even had the foresight to make the app self-contained, so once downloaded, no wifi means no problem.

Taking it even further, since many of the activities happen simultaneously the app can help you be in multiple places at once, thanks to a virtual tour feature.
The app is as powerful as the event is seeks to capture, yet its free for download in the Google Play Store. Get it long before the official opening of UWI Research Days on Wednesday, February 17 at 2 PM to plot your course through the expo.
