The hardest part of taking on a project is figuring out what are you going to do. Always start by looking at what inspires you, what your community needs, and where you make an existing process more efficient.
This is my first time being apart of Imagine Cup. After watching the 2012 winners videos , I was so inspired that I began to start on my project of my own . In the following weeks leading up to the deadline, I will be working on project focused on one of the categories.
