October 31 Prizes, oh the prizes!I love freebies... I really do. I have the speaker schedule nearly ready to publish (just have to confirm two more speakers - we've got some AWESOME speakers coming) but in the meantime I wanted to talk about the prizes we're giving out at Mix On Campus, because if I weren't working for Microsoft and I was coming along to the event, I'd want to know about the free stuff I can get my mitts on
 . First up, everyone who comes along gets a showbag with a whole bunch of swag in it. On top of that we've got some killer prizes to give away on the day/s. Here's a list of what I've got to give away in each city:
- 1 Xbox 360 (yep, 1 per city, meaning 3 total)
- Project Gotham Racing Hooded Sweats
- Copies of Vista Ultimate (i.e. the one with Fax & Scan, Remote Desktop capability and Windows Media Centre - sweet)
- Microsoft LifeCam vx-3000's
- A massive jar of jelly beans (yeh, that's right, I'm taking it back to primary school fund-raiser tactics and having a jelly bean guessing competition)
Lottery rules dictate that I'm not allowed to give prizes out randomly, so to win prizes, you have to guess how many jelly beans are in the jar (making it a game of skill). Your register for the day, make your best guess, and the closest guestimate wins the major prizes, and we work our way down from there until the top 5 guesses have a prize.And who can honestly say they wouldn't want a big jar of jelly beans on their desk / coffee table / waistline?
Don't forget, you need to register for the event, so get cracking!! October 24 Students miss out on all the good events.I wrote this on my blog once. And I always stood by that statement. Until now...
What is Mix On Campus?
I'm MSOZACADEMIC (although people more commonly call me Nick Ellery) and I work at Microsoft. I work in academic relations and I guess I'm the official champion of Mix On Campus.
Mix on Campus is an event designed specifically to meet the needs of students, lecturers and educators. If you're into web development and multimedia design, and want to get together with others from the same background from all across your city, read on... The event is inspired by the sheer bulk of students and lecturers who miss out on industry events each year due to high costs, timing, lack of invitations or other factors. This always kinda irked me - why should universities, high schools and TAFEs miss out on the good stuff? Mix On Campus has been timed to happen just after exams finish in each state, so come along, chill out, forget the final few weeks of hellish study and get happy with like minded web design and web developer students from all around your city! Speakers will cover the latest web trends, web technologies and talk about career opportunities technology students can look forward to. You'll be learning new skills, getting an insight into the tech tools of today and tomorrow and making new industry connections. We'll also be giving out a bunch of prizes, and it's also a great chance to come along and learn about the latest web tools from Microsoft. It doesn't matter what institute you're from (high school, uni and TAFE students & teachers included), you're all welcome to join in the fun. Register today
Check out the details below and follow the link to register online. Places are strictly limited, so please only register if you are serious about attending, otherwise others miss out.
