Congratulations to Coralie Mayer-Traynor (IDEA Grad 2022) for winning the 2021 RGD Trailblazer Award with 'BRUIT Music Festival/de Musique Francophone'.

“The predominance of music from English speaking countries makes it difficult for young French speakers to discover new francophone artists. Bruit uses AR technology to help them find and sample new talent. By scanning a QR code, they can interact with the faces on the posters, discover new performers and genres, sample music, and book tickets.” writes Coralie.
