What Word of Advice Would You Give to Imagine Cup Contestants?

  • Article

This week, the University of Washington is sharing the role of host with Microsoft for this year's World Imagine Cup Finals. The event acts as a moment in time for communities and universities across the globe to celebrate student entrepreneurship and creativity. Most importantly, it's a ton of fun to watch. In fact, if you're from the U.S. we definitely recommend helping team Grant Fellow, the group representing the states at the finals this year, by following their story on twitter using the #TeamGrantFellow hashtag and tweeting any questions about the experience, words of advice, or just to cheer them on!
