[Academic] Canada takes first place at Imagine Cup
Hello everyone.
Just wanted to let you know about a piece of great news from back in August that may not have had enough air time in my opinion. A delegation of students from Canada went to the Microsoft Imagine Cup in India and one of the team won first place in the short film category. Here's a message from Daniel Shapiro of Microsoft who accompanied them:
"I was in India with 6 Canadian students competing in this years Imagine Cup. The 6 students represent 2 teams including 1 Software Design Team and 1 Short Film Team. Even though the Software Design Team competed very strongly with great feedback, they did not place in the top 3 spots this year. Our Short Film Team, however did in fact achieve 1st Place Overall for their 2 Short Films!
Here's some links to check out:
