This spring, Bellevue College\u2019s Computer Science Department welcomed a visiting delegation from Keimyung University in South Korea for a week of innovation, collaboration, and exploration. As part of the NextGen Startup Challenge, students from both institutions worked together to brainstorm entrepreneurial ideas, participate in workshops, and strengthen cross-cultural academic ties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
