Microsoft Imagine Cup Finals – The results
16th May 2011
The Imagine Cup regional finals were held last week, and it is a great success! We are very impressed with the turnout and the quality of all the projects submitted by the other teams. Reading Room would also like to congratulate the Queensland University of Technology team for their impressive commitment and effort in the Mum2Be project, and we certainly hope that they will be able to commercialise the idea soon. :)
Mum2Be came in second in the regional finals, and they are definitely getting much well-deserved attention from the many contacts obtained through the event. Reading Room is the industry mentor for the QUT team in this Imagine Cup competition, and we shared a range of resources such as industry insights, advice, and project management skills to ensure that the team complete their project to the highest quality.
Looking forward to see Mum2Be brought forward to the next phase, and our next collaboration with QUT!
Note: The Microsoft Imagine Cup is the world’s premier student technology competition and Reading Room currently mentoring a team of QUT students participating in the Microsoft Imagine Cup competition. The idea is to show how technology can help solve the world’s toughest problems. Student teams compete worldwide in an attempt to tackle issues related to hunger relief, poverty, education, disease control, health care, the environment and other crucial problems facing our world today. http://imaginecup.com/
