We invite to student hackathons of Imagine Cup
Last year, we successfully conducted about 10 Imagine Cup hakatons in different cities of Russia, helping students and high school students to translate their ideas into software projects. We believe in the success of hackathons as a new educational format, and therefore we will organize student hackathons of the Imagine Cup this year, together with the Internet Initiatives Development Foundation and the Skolkovo Open University .

The main topic of hackathons this year is universal applications on the Microsoft platform (including development for compact computers for the Internet of things ) and cloud services. As always, educational lectures and ideas generation sessions will be held as part of the hackathons, so you can come without the skills to create applications and without ideas. The main thing - with a laptop.

- It is also recommended to install the Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET if you decide to work with the cloud
You can also capture:
