These finalists were chosen from a pool of more than 14,000 entries in the U.S. for their ideas to use technology to help solve poverty, education, healthcare, our environment and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS. Next Monday, the winner will be announced at the Imagine Cup US Finals at the Newseum in Washington DC.

These teams came up with some great ideas, such as …

• Team Extraplaid created a social-networking application that connects entrepreneurs to investors in the micro-banking industry.
• Team Mango Bunnies – an all-girl team – returns to Imagine Cup after placing second last year to showcase their mobile and web message alert system that informs users of unsafe areas for women.
• Team Coffee House Altruism created a strategy game that tasks participants with tackling development issues of a country or region.
