Step up to the challenge.
One world. Unlimited possibilities.
Let’s face it — the world needs help. The kind of help that happens when you take the top young minds from around the globe and turn them loose on solving the world’s toughest problems. That’s what the Imagine Cup is all about. This is your chance to innovate and create, show the world what you’ve got, and win some serious prizes. Simply put, it’s your chance to use the power of technology to change the world — and have some fun while you’re at it.
Imagine Cup 2008 (the “Contest”) is a skill contest designed to recognize students who demonstrate excellence in a diverse range of technical and artistic pursuits, and seeks innovative contest entries that address the competition theme. The Contest consists of nine (9) separate categories, each referred to as “invitationals”.
Software Design
Embedded Development
Game Development
Project Hoshimi
IT Challenge
Algorithm
Photography
Short Film
Interface Design
