Finnish Imagine Cup 2012–Software Design finalists announced!

It’s been really great to see so many students get excited about Imagine Cup this year! Especially the Windows Phone Challenge has been intersting for interesting for many students around Finland. We’ve had tons of seminars, hackathons, codecamps and courses around the subject during the last couple of months. I want to thank all the MSPs, faculty members and partners who have been involved in providing our students with the best possible training. Who knew 24H events would be so much fun

But now.. something that everyone has been waiting for, the top 3 teams for Software Design who will proceed to the second round and attend the Finnish finals in Taitaja 2012. From there one team will be chosen to represent Finland in the Imagine Cup worldwide finals in Sydney, Australia!

This year the competition was extremely tight, there were so many real problems tackled and so many new ideas that we definitely had a very hard job to do, when selecting the top 3 teams. I want to thank you all for participating and for sharing your great ideas with us! We hope to hear from many of you in the future.

Let’s get to business… drumroll please.. here are the teams who will proceed to the Finnish Software Design finals (in alphabetical order)

• Team Aaltovation from Aalto University
• Team BOBS from Lappeenranta University of Technology
• Team Matalapaine from Turku University of Applied Sciences

Congratulations to all of you!

I’ve notified all of the team by email with the feedback from the judges. As said previously, the competition was really tight this year and it was just a matter of single points. So make sure you attend next year, if your team didn’t pass this year.. come back stronger than ever!

We’ll organize the Finnish Software Design finals in Jyväskylä on the 25.4. Stay tuned for more information!
