Imagine Cup 2011 in New York

Imagine Cup 2011 in New York, a set on Flickr.

Finally getting round to going through all my photos I took in New York (All 1,500+ of them), here are a few from my Flickr album (with plenty more on the way)

A fond farewell from the UK Microsoft team

Seeing as this is the last year I can compete in the Imagine Cup -unless I register for another academic course. The UK Microsoft academic team put together a short video for me.

It was so much easier when it was just 'Save the Cheerleader ...save the world'

So I am back from New York (regrettably) and have returned to the horrors of sitting at cafe's having coffee and cake while watching the world go by.

The Imagine Cup 2011 was an amazing experience and I congratulate every single person that took part, there was some amazing ideas that were shown and although most of the teams that I thought should have won didn't, it will be amazing to see how they move forward. Although this is my second year competing, I didn't manage to win (again) but I got a lot of great experiences.

For some (in a rather funny way) I shall be remembered as the UK's 'Army of one' - being the only 1 man team and for the iconic moment where I was warming up a childs cot with a hair drier "Now remember, don't try this at home"

I look forward to possibly competing for a third time next year or if that isn't possible, mentoring the next UK embedded entry.

Shame it's never as easy as it says on TV 'Save the Cheerleader, Save the World'

Save the children, save the world

Well I have been rather busy lately, which is quite an understatement.

As I type this I am in New York sitting in an internet cafe. Today is round two of the Imagine Cup 2011 finals.

After presenting twice yesterday, consisting of a powerpoint presentation and an in booth demonstration. I was selected to progress to round 2 which involves a 20 Q&A session with the judges.
