The Imagine Cup is what happens when student teams from around the world compete to solve the UN's Millenium Development Goals to free a major portion of humanity from the shackles of extreme poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease. They established targets for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women, environmental sustainability and a global partnership for development.
The Imagine Cup is also the world's premier student technology competition open to all students over the age of 16. Key competition categories are Software Design, Embedded and Games Development. Software design is the biggest competition with teams of up to four people; the best teams are mixed discipline with developers, entrepreneurs and domain experts. We don't have long left to promote the Software Design competition as the round 1 deadline is 16th December by which time teams must have submitted a proposal document via imaginecup.co.uk.
