Imagine Cup

Where has all my time gone?

My work got really busy and I've been mentoring a team creating a game for the Imagine Cup. Never expected it, but all those trips to Africa doing community development have been helpful in building a game that is designed to help work on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

The team is in the final week (two days) of development and everything is coming along. I think this is one of the most interesting projects I have worked on in years and really follows closely the work in Africa I (my wife and a lot of good friends) have been involved with over the past five years. When we started the team we were looking at a different contest and the Imagine Cup came along after that contest was delayed. Very cool to see the fruits of many years of labor multiplying into completely new avenues of opportunity.

The game is called Project 2015. The Project 2015 website is currently a month and a half old and used for the first submission. I expect it to be updated in the next week. Stay tuned.
