The Imagine Cup Theme

It's a theme of global proportions.

Imagine Cup 2011 Theme: Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems.

It might sound lofty. And perhaps a little ambitious. But when it comes down to it, this year's theme couldn't be more relevant. The United Nations has identified some of the world's toughest problems in its Millennium Development Goals. And Imagine Cup 2011 uses these ambitious challenges as a guide, inspiring students to create change around the globe.

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals include:

1) Ending Hunger and Poverty.

2) Achieving Primary Education for everyone.

3) Promoting gender Equality and empowerment.

and many more..,

The Millennium Development Goals were agreed upon by 189 nations around the world more than nine years ago. They encompass universally accepted human rights such as freedom from hunger, the right to basic education, the right to health, and a responsibility to future generations. Now less than four years from the date of 2015 by which the Millennium Development Goals are to be achieved, it's time we made a difference.
