Dear Educator:

Are your students passionate about Information Technology?  Then make
sure that your students don't miss the opportunity to participate in the
2009 Imagine Cup IT Challenge for a chance to make a difference in the
world, add more technical skills to their resume and win a trip to the
finals in Egypt.


The IT Challenge is an individual competition based on themed quizzes.
Competitors are challenged to demonstrate proficiency in the science of
networks, databases, and servers. Anyone that completes (and passes) all
4 content quizzes, gets a "certificate of achievement" from Microsoft.

Participants will get access to virtual labs and 100+ hours of premium
technical e-learning and e-books, and you can also be the potential
winner of up to US$8,000 in the WW Finals plus an all expense trip to
the Imagine Cup World Wide finals in Cairo, Egypt, in July 2009!

Spread the word by forwarding this email to your students and colleagues!

Enter Now!

There are four themed first round quizzes to choose from. Remember, you
only need to choose ONE to participate in first round quizzes. There are
still six more themes to choose from:
