Imagine Cup Roadshow

Yesterday, I attended a Seminar held by Microsoft Student Partners at De La Salle University Manila. We arrived there at around 8:30 AM but the event started at 10 AM. wahaw. So we got our name tags, track cards and copy of program at the Registration table and we also got dog tags for souvenirs. haha!

We were able to try games or apps from MSP and Imagine Cup. There were also NGOs who seeks for volunteers who can help our community. Aside from that, participants were able to try the Xbox Kinect (but ofcourse, I wasn’t able to try it because I’m too shy to dance in the hallway. haha) 

There was a Raffle too wherein we got half of the prices. haha. My classmate won the grand prize which is a Windows Phone (siya na!). 

After our break, the seminar started at 1pm. The speakers talked about the upcoming Imagine Cup at Sydney Australia. According to them, it was a lifetime experience. (if you want to know more about it, just google/bing it.) I was truly amazed with it. Technology was truly innovating if we would use it to solve the world’s toughest problems. Imagine Cup’s theme is to use Technology to solve the world’s toughest problems. And its participants were truly great. They really inspiring. And yeah, we have winners from the Philippines. Wildfire game made by Implication won 1st place @ Imagine Cup 2010 while another winner which is the Conjunct by Signum Fidei won 2nd place @ Imagine Cup 2011. 

Check it out! Maybe you’ll be the next winner of Imagine Cup. haha. :)
