The Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior 2022 is a global challenge open to students aged 13 to 18, and aims to empower them to learn about technology and develop a concept or idea to make a difference in their local community and the world around them. It’s a great introduction to technology for students and hopes to inspire students to gain appreciation and insight into new concepts.

This year, Rangi Ruru students will have the opportunity to take part in the Microsoft Imagine Cup. You will learn about technology and how it can be used to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. The Microsoft Imagine Cup Junior helps students build skills in technology concepts that will help them in their future learning and in the workforce.

Last year’s challenge drew thousands of student participants and recognized 10 global winners who came up with incredible projects to address Microsoft’s AI for Good initiatives. In 2022 we are excited to see even more students participate and learn the impact that technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cybersecurity can have on the world.

We're looking for the next big thing and we know today’s students are full of ideas and creativity and are excited about how emerging technologies can help the world.
