April 23 - Russian final of Imagine Cup and Student Day in Moscow
Microsoft is trying to do a lot of good for students, but the highlight of the year is certainly the final of the Imagine Cup student projects competition . Traditionally, the finale is not only a competition of teams, but also a set of lectures and activities interesting to a wide student audience - so we also call it Student Day. This year the final of the Imagine Cup and the Student Day will be held in Moscow this Saturday, April 23, 2016 , in Digital October , starting at 10:00.
We recommend all students in Moscow and the surrounding area to attend this event - for this you must first register . For students from other cities will be available online broadcast . Below - in more detail about what will be at the event and which teams will perform .

The most important thing in the final is still the performances of the teams! This year in Russia there was a very big interest in the games - it is not surprising, after the Russian teams won the international final two years in a row. As a result, 12 games projects will be presented at the finals this Saturday, and only 4 projects each in the categories of “innovation” and “social projects”. But this does not make such projects less interesting - we will have a holographic teleportation project (without using any augmented reality helmets!), And an Internet of things device for helping people with disabilities, and virtual educational space travel .
More information about the teams and their projects, you can read on the site .
In addition to student teams, schoolchildren will also compete for a trip to Seattle at the Master of the Code competition finals. First, the finalists of the competition will present their projects to the jury and the audience, after which the super-finalists will compete directly on the court for the right to go to the international final of the Imagine Cup in Seattle. If you are also a master of code, or are planning to participate next year, or just go to school and love computers, you will probably be interested to watch this process!
In addition to the performances of the teams, we have prepared several fascinating lectures for you:
The most valuable thing at an event is usually the opportunity to do something with your hands! To do this, we will organize a series of master classes that will be available only to those lucky ones who have time to register for them (for technical reasons, the number of participants is strictly limited). Registration will be open a couple of days before the event.
In addition to the master classes, we are also waiting for a round table on the topic “Women in IT”, interviews with participants, an exhibition of projects and a lot of interesting things!
We are waiting for you on Saturday at 10:00, in Digital October. Do not forget to register and invite your friends to the event (the easiest way to do this is to use the VKontakte group )!
