Start Something PC not totally lame
A couple weeks back at the district conferences, IDSA and Microsoft showed a cheesy 30-second teaser promoting a design competition that they would announce today, April 25th. My first thoughts were, "Lame."But, go figure, here comes April 25th, I head over to competition website, and it’s not half bad.
The challenge: “Rethink the Windows-based PC experience today and the role it plays in people's lives. Envision how the digital lifestyle—from personal productivity at work or home, to entertainment, mobility, lifestyle and form—all play a part in development. Think big, be bold, and inspiring, but pay attention to sustainable technologies, and ecological and environmental innovation.”
Prizes are fairly large: $50,000 Judge’s Award, $50,000 Chairman’s Award (selected by Bill Gates), $25,000 Public Choice Award.
