    1) Software Design - Real applications for the real world. Here's your mission (if you choose to accept it). Create real-world software applications using Microsoft technologies. Just remember, they must address the Imagine Cup 2012 theme: Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems.
    2) Game Design - Become the ultimate superhero. Who says saving the world can't be fun? First of all, it's thrilling to make a difference. And with the power of gaming, people can have fun while fighting global issues. Build a full game from scratch. And make it something truly unique.
