Imagine Cup is Microsoft’s global student technology competition. On February 18, 2023, the 21st China National Final was held in Zhengzhou’s Zhengdong New District, the first time it came to Henan. Twenty-six teams from seven regions made the final.
What I did
I went as a volunteer reporter from the Student Ambassadors program. A week before, the reporters met on Teams. In Zhengzhou we followed the teams taking photos, filming and doing interviews, from February 15 through the final on the 18th. As I put it in my graduate interview:
We served as reporters, assisting participants and documenting their journey through videos and photos.
Over those days we filmed many interviews and scenes from the event.
Afterwards
Back at school, I wrote an introduction to Imagine Cup for the university’s leadership, to promote the competition on campus.
