Imagine Cup 2011 team interview: AWESOM3SOME

| April 10, 2011 18:01 UTC | 0 comments |

Still remember our post of last year’s Imagine Cup winner? Back then we saw an amazing Windows Phone 7 game developer by two guys, who by then were only 16 and 17 years old. This year’s Imagine Cup finals are right around the corner, and teams are getting ready to present their ideas.

Imagine Cup is a worldwide technology competition that was started nine years ago. The whole competition spans over one year, starting with local qualifications and moving towards the worldwide finals. This is an awesome opportunity for students to show what they’re capable of, and showcase an amazing amount of innovation.

The theme for this years Imagine Cup is ‘Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems’. The worldwide Imagine Cup  2011 Finals will take place in New York City, USA, from July 8-13, 2011.

A few friends (fellow Microsoft Student Partners) of mine are taking part in this year’s Imagine Cup. They’re part of a three-member team, who call themselves AWESOME3SOME. Hit View Post to see what they wanted to tell the world ;)

Video: Windows Phone 7 Game – Winner of Imagine Cup 2010

Congrats Christian Hood, 17, and Eric Lo, 16, from the Beastware team, who created this game and won the whole Imagine Cup 2010! You can see Eric demo the game in the video. It’s a game for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows, controlled either by the accelerometer in the phone, or a Wii Remote connected to the computer.

These guys also received a brand new Windows Phone 7 developer phone, that looks like the modified Samsung i8910 phone Microsoft has previously used to demo WP7.
