Inside the Imagine Cup

By Tim Ferguson, 13 July 2009 16:44

Last week saw Microsoft hold the final of its annual Imagine Cup competition, where student developers are tasked with creating products using Microsoft tech aimed at tackling the world's problems.

One of the categories in the competition, Embedded Development, where developers use Microsoft Windows Embedded software, was won by Team Wafree from South Korea.

The team clinched the prize for their application aimed at solving world hunger by facilitating the breeding of beetles for food.

    good for team wafree

    but I always find chitin difficult to chew and it gets stuck in my teeth, I wonder if they've addressed that problem

    ...a friend gave me ants in chocolate once, just in care you had visions of me wandering round the garden looking for dinner, handy if you want a leg though
