We are delighted to announce that Queen’s School of Computing undergraduate students have won top places in the 2015 Canadian National Imagine Cup Competition organized by Microsoft.
1. In the Innovation Category:
The first place winner is a team of four second year Queen’s School of Computing students, Anastasiya Tarnouskaya (BMCO), Riley Karson (SODE), Julie Lycklama (SODE) and Christopher Thomas (SODE). They built an application meant to provide a safer walking experience for everyone, anywhere and at anytime. Details of the application can be found in this article which appeared when the team won an honourable mention earlier this year in a preliminary round (the Video Pitch Competition).
2. In the World Citizenship Category:
The first place winner is team Eye3 made up of two Queen’s School of Computing students, Jake Alsemgeest (Cmp ’15) and Zaeem Anwar (Cmp ’15), and Queen’s Commerce student Eddie Wang (Com ’18), for their program Ciris, previously the winner of a preliminary round (the Blueprint Challenge Phase).
Congratulations to our exceptional students for this impressive performance.
