May 2009
Team MultiPoint Web has been named grand prize winner of the U.S. Imagine Cup 2009 competition. Jimmy, Mark and Luke Dickinson, three brothers from Oregon built upon existing education programs to create a set of low- to no-cost, Web-based learning applications that allow multiple students to simultaneously use a single computer. Such an innovation can help cash-strapped schools get the most out of their computer hardware and software investments.
The Imagine Cup, Microsoft Corp.’s annual global student technology competition, inspires students to use their creativity to help change the world for the better by discovering new ways to use technology to address real-world issues. This year’s theme centers on the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals, which outline some of the hardest challenges in the world today, such as fighting hunger and poverty and eradicating AIDS, as well as improving education, maternal health and environmental sustainability.
Imagine Cup 2009 Worldwide Finals will be in Cairo, Egypt, in July.
