Imagine Cup 2011 Awards Ceremony

These are the top three for the Imagine Cup Software Development Challenge this year. We have OaSys (Jordan) in third, NoteTaker (USA) in second and Hermes (Ireland) first. Very warm congratulations to you all.

More winners take to the stage.

The awards ceremony was a great event, with appearances from the Mayor of New York, and Eva Longoria, to name a few. The students had a great time, which got even greater when they were told that along with the Kinect they will be taking home with them, they have also been awarded a brand new “Mango” release Windows Phone device as soon as they become available. Lucky people.

In the first paragraph "We have OaSys (Jordan) in third, NoteTaker (USA) in second and Hermes (Ireland) third", who came in first? :)

Ireland won it.
They designed a device that plugs into a car and monitors dangerous driving behavior and road conditions, providing instant feedback to both the driver and the car owner. The team’s solution uses embedded technology, Windows Phone 7, Bing Maps and the Windows Azure cloud computing platform to change driving habits and reduce road deaths.

That would be handy for me, as I drive a BMW.

Ha. My bad. Ireland did win it (thanks Jules). I've fixed the text.
