NZCS are proud to partner with the Imagine Cup, a competition that dares to challenge New Zealand’s best and brightest students to imagine “what if…?”. What if the world’s greatest problems could be tackled and solved through ICT? What if they each stood up and gave it a crack? What would the world look like if everyone else did the same?
The Imagine Cup epitomises what being an ICT professional is about – taking responsibility, as a community, for creating solutions to big problems – and NZCS are very happy to be working alongside Microsoft and others to foster this culture amongst the professionals of the future.
