Do you think a social media application can help stop the spread of malaria? Could a mobile alert system help warn citizens of a looming natural disaster? Can a mobile phone be used to detect vascular diseases like sickle cell anemia and type 1 diabetes?
These are just a few of the projects designed by students competing in the Imagine Cup, a global technology competition focused on improving education, healthcare and the environment. These students all have one thing in common; they are going to change the world!
Starting from a field of over 325,000 competitors from all over the world, only 400 have made it to the final stage and will attend the Worldwide Finals in Poland this summer. You can learn more about their projects, watch their videos, and vote to support your favourite team at www.imaginecup.com.
Open to students around the world, the Imagine Cup is a serious challenge that draws incredible talent, passion and perseverance. The event spans one year, beginning with local, regional and online competitions. The finalists go on to attend the Worldwide Finals held in a different location every year. The intensity of the work brings students together, and motivates the competitors to rise above challenges and make an impact on the world.
And let’s face it; the world could use a little changing. We live in difficult times with a ton of problems raining down on people every day. The real question is who is going to step up and do something about it? We think it’s you. Be sure to tune into www.imaginecup.com on July 8th to see who emerges as the “People’s Choice” champion.
