Partnership Booth

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Cengage learning is partnering with us to create an AR experience to showcase their TED textbook line. I have been hard at work on the software and I have included some MAVR easter eggs! The booth will be next to reception on the first floor, so please go by and mention how cool it is so they ask us to do it again!
