Go Team SOAK!
By Nick Hodge | July 9, 2008
Best in the world: Team SOAK from Victoria, Australia have won the worldwide Imagine Cup 2008.
SOAK stands for “Smart Operational Agricultural toolKit”. I saw this demonstrated in the preliminary finals prior to ReMIX finals for the Australian Imagine Cup contenders. As a farmer’s son, I instantly saw the application. Measuring water, including rainfall, is a constant management process. From memory, the farm I grew up on had daily rainfall measurement from 1972.
The enthusiasm of the team, the way they collaborated across 4 different universities and the application of their invention all contributed to their well deserved award.
