Imagine Cup US 2010 Finals – Day One
Posted April 25th, 2010 . 4 Comments .
The first day here at the Imagine Cup was pretty hectic, with competitors scrambling to make sure their presentations were ready for the judges. Each team was given a 50 minute block of time with a panel of judges, where they would demo their project, pitch their business plan, and field questions from the judges. After that, they were released from their presentation rooms to talk with the camera crews from Microsoft Press. I was lucky enough to grab a few minutes with some of the teams for a filmed interview.
Team Extraplaid:
Team Team Name Not Found:
Team Darkwing Duck:
After the morning presentations were over, the teams split off to go on different tours and activities. I joined quite a few people on the Segway tour around Washington, D.C.. Needless to say, the tour was phenomenal. After our three hour Segway tour, we made our way over to the ESPN Zone for dinner and games with the rest of the competitors.
So far the weekend has been running great, and there is still so much more to see.
I also wanted to remind people to follow #ICUS10 on Twitter, and keep an eye out for our Live Blog, Monday Morning at 9:00 AM, where Alfred Thompson, Gen from GenInc.tv, and myself will be covering the presentations from the top 4 teams in each category.

Microsoft should start making a competition to create solutions to problems that can be solved DIRECTLY with technology (innovative ideas for the web for example) at this moment in time instead of focusing on Game Development or “Solving” Pollution. No wonder Microsoft is failing in almost everything it does.
Your not a WorlWideCare organisation, your a technology organisation (that’s going down if continued on this path).
***Wondering how these people get themselves motivated for such pointless projects, maybe it’s the chance to work at Microsoft, a company that’s going downhill for like the past 5 years.
