I will want to encourage students to get started early on competitions next year so here is some information.
The theme for the imagine cup next year has been announced:
“Imagine how to apply technology to solve the world’s toughest social problems.”
This theme will be valid for the next 3 years and is based on the United Nations millennium development goals:
