For several weeks now, thousands of students in dozens of countries all over the world have been competing in the Imagine Cup Local Finals. They’ve been dreaming up big ideas and bringing them to life with software. Only a few hundred of this group will be sent to St. Petersburg, Russia, to compete in the Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals – with more than US$1 million in prizes at stake.
And when the Imagine Cup awards ceremony takes place on July 11, winners will be joined by Matt Smith on stage. Smith is known for his intelligent and witty portrayal of the BBC’s iconic time traveler, Doctor Who. As John Tynes says over on the Imagine Cup blog, “Who better? …The Doctor’s mastery of technology is matched only by his creativity, his compassion, and his sense of wonder at all the amazing things people can accomplish when they are inspired by hope instead of being ruled by fear.”
So save the date for the live Imagine Cup awards ceremony that will be hosted by Smith and shown online at ImagineCup.com! Sign up for the newsletter and you’ll get a reminder as the event approaches.
