Students from Arizona State University won top honors last week at the Imagine Cup finals in the United States.Microsoft Corporation organizes the yearly competition.

The Imagine Cup asks students to use their imaginations and their love of technology to solve some of the world's biggest problems.Team FlashFood won first place in the Imagine Cup's Software Design competition.The idea is this，that there's a lot of food that goes to waste from hotels，from catered events and from restaurants.And this food is perishable food，so it's the kind of food that can't normally be handled by food recovery organizations like food banks or food pantries(储藏室)．

next meal is coming from，or that they have to make decisions between paying their bills and whether or not they're going to eat for a day.

The FlashFood team has developed a way to get leftover and unwanted food into the hands of people who need it.It's a mobile application and website that makes it possible for restaurant managers to enter information about food that they would like to donate into our network－ending a notification(通告) then to a team of volunteer drivers who can go pick up the leftover food and take it into a community where those who are living in food insecurity can receive that donation.

The FlashFood team is one of the program's thirty－seven projects.Richard Filley，director of the Engineering Projects in Community Service program at Arizona State，says winning the Imagine Cup's Software Design category is a major honor.But，he says，it is not what energizes his students.He also says “We have students that want to change the world and make a difference and we're very serious about that.” Microsoft is celebrating the tenth year of the Imagine Cup.The vice president with the company says the competition has changed a lot since it first began.
