History
It all started as a group project for our Open Source Computing course Spring 2018, at Loyola University of Chicago. That spring everyone was mesmerized with Loyola-Chicago Ramblers and their incredible performance in March Madness. Loyola’s campus was embellished with flags cheering on the team and every single student were dazed with pride. The Ramblers got up to the final four.
The idea behind Loyola Virtual Exchange was to embrace the incredible energy and competitive nature of our students while encouraging, collaborating and sharing ideas. Students can create their own hedge funds or just work individually. They can negotiate new rules and develop great leadership skills.
We want to establish a community where young developers can interact and collaborate with each other. Open Source allows us to create, test, and debug together. Such practice will lead to better quality software and documentation.
