Imagine cup is an annual student technology competition supported by Microsoft. This year’s theme is “Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems facing us today.”
My team which consisted of James Abela, Brian Fenech, Keith Galea and myself on behalf of the University of Malta, developed a system called DonationExpress. In a nutshell, our project will integate existing shopping carts with one, global trusted source of donations and allow donations to be made quickly and easily upon a checkout. The system also includes a web portal to display donations in a transparent way and track how donations are spent by charity organisations.
Yesterday we managed to beat MCAST and STC in the Imagine Cup local finals held at Hilton Conference Centre. The panel of judges consisted of five local industry professionals namely Jonathan Cassar from MITA, Adrian Porter from Exigy, Joseph Borg from ICON Studios, Steve Giordano Imbroll from 6pm and Steve Casaletto from Key Services.
Our next challenge will be in Egypt were we will be competing against teams from over 100 countries!
