Microsoft’s Imagine Cup is described as the world’s premier student technology competition. Launched in 2003, this annual event attracts thousands of participants from around the world. The first phase of the competition, the Pitch Video Challenge, garnered an Honourable Mention in the Games Category for a Queen’s team comprised of Alex De Rosa, Comm’15, and School of Computing students Susan Hwang, Tianbin Jiang and Gabrielle Quilliam.
Queen’s participation in the ImagineCup is just one part of an initiative to team up Queen’s Commerce and Computing students to develop innovative, marketable computer-based applications. QSB professors Brent Gallupe, Kathryn Brohman and Tracy Jenkin are leading QSB’s role in this initiative, lending their expertise in coaching and mentoring student teams.
