Friends!
Many have probably heard about the student technology competition
Imagine Cup , but there are still many students who do not understand how best to participate in the competition, or can not find like-minded people. To help them, Microsoft, together with the Skolkovo Open University, is conducting a series of express schools of the Imagine Cup in
St. Petersburg and
Tomsk .

The Imagine Cup Express School is an event that students gather and in one day can organize themselves into a team, come up with or improve the idea and create a prototype application for the competition. As part of the express school, you can:
- Learn how to develop applications for the Kinect controller
- Learn how to develop modern applications for Windows 8 / Windows Phone
- Take part in interesting trainings and workshops, learn about the basics of technological entrepreneurship
- Tell about your idea, hear feedback from the organizers of the competition and other participants, get tips on how to improve the idea.
- Come up with an idea to participate in the competition and assemble a team
- By the evening, participate in a mini-competition of projects designed and created for this day.
- Learn the main secrets of winning the Imagine Cup!
According to the results of the school, we will invite you to the community of graduates of express schools, where you can get answers to technical questions.
