We are the 2006 and 2007 Microsoft Imagine Cup champions

The University of Canberra has won the top two places in the Microsoft Imagine Cup Innovation Challenge 2007 for the second year running, and the winning team will compete at the international final to be held in Seoul, Korea in August.

The winning team of Philip Haines, Miss Ngoc Thuy Duong Khuu, Thi Vinh and Ping Li, mentored by Dr Dat Tran, developed technology that gives people who are vision impaired better web access and an easy way to program in programming language C#.

The second-placed team included Shafquat Zaman Khan, Jagdish Mehra, and Muhammad Meherban Arif, who developed a system to convert lecture notes into audio files. Students can play the notes back on their MP3 player in a choice of languages with the system, which also incorporates a study scheduler. 

The School of Information Sciences and Engineering is proud of this great achievement. As a tertiary first, the School incorporated the Imagine Cup competition into its curriculum and the opportunity served as a good challenge for students to showcase their talents.
