The ImagineCup is a global competition about informatics between students all over the world. The provider of the ImageineCup is Microsoft. This competition is divided into small competitions addressing different aspects of informatics like algorithm, web development, embedded systems, interface design, etc.
In my case I applied for “Interface Design” and I’ll propose my master thesis for the application. That was the idea of my mentor

Yesterday, I got an email reminder that I should upload my storyboard in order to complete the requirements for the first round. I realy forgot the deadline . I spent nearly the hole day in creating abstract, story board, considerations, addressing problems and challenges of the users, user-experience of the proposed interface, etc. . A ended up with a nice powerpoint presentation of my proposed interface about 19 pages , plenty of text and images.
The deadline for round 1 ended this night and I remarked, that I should have uploaded a ZIP file with an abstract, powerpoint presentation, image. I just uploaded a pdf containg my presentation including abstract and images. I’ll see if they accept that or they simply disqualify me.

The competitions has 3 Rounds. The first one consits of describing your own proposol. All proposals are going to be voted by the community to enter Round2. Only 30 teams enter Round 2. In case of the Interface Design competition you have to hand in a working prototype to complete the requirements of Round 2. The prototype is going to be evaluated by experts. Only 6 teams will enter Round 3. That means you won as trip to Seoul in Korea where the finalists come together to compete in a 24h-competition. Well there are some prices, but I think the trip to Koread is worth joining the competition, isn’t it?

I’ll keep you informed about this competition
