From left to right: Ziyan Zhou (Joe), Adam Risi and Zachery Shivers, a quartet of sophomores and juniors from Rochester Institute of Technology, are the 2008 U.S. Imagine Cup Finals winners of the Software Design category. Displayed here is their winning project that programs and configures a network of sensors to take readings of environmental variables such as AC current, temperature, humidity, light, sound, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and motion. Users can capture individual sensor readings by connecting to the appropriate network node; meanwhile, data is stored by Microsoft SQL Server for eventual study and analysis. The sensors are also programmable and accessible via cell phone. As winners, they will receive $12,000 and an opportunity for each member of the team to travel to Paris, France, as a guest of Microsoft Corp., to compete in the Imagine Cup 2008 Worldwide Software Design Invitational Final.
