A lot of buzz has been generated by the Imagine Cup in the past week, and it is getting exciting. I hope all the teams are well prepared and will give it their all to win this. I (along with Jason Beres) am lucky enough to be invited as a judge during this year's festivities, so I am really looking forward to the adventure. Hopefully, on a grand scale, Jason and I can mingle with the participants, after the judging, to discuss how our group (INETA Academic) can help them with next year's competition on a global scale. Now I have to go hit my “Brazilian Portuguese phrasebook” so I can get myself a drink and hopefully to a bathroom when needed. I will definitely be blogging and uploading photos during the event.
