Good news arrived to us, the Dare-to-be-Digital team, today!

Our team leader received the following letter from the committee in Dundee (up North of Edinburgh, Scotland):

Dear Team Leader
Thank you for your application to Dare to be Digital 2006. We had 20 teams apply for 1 of only 12 interview places for Scotland and congratulations, your team have been selected to attend the interview day on May 4th in Dundee. Of the twelve teams being interviewed, 4 will be selected to take part in the competition. The details of your interview are set out below. Can you please ensure that if possible, all your team members are present for the interview - if your team mates have exams on this date then obviously they can be excused from attending, but as many team members should attend as possible to give the best possible impression to the judging panel. Please come to Abertay's main reception (Kydd Building, Bell Street, Dundee) about 15 minutes prior to your allocated time and ask for Sarah Johnston. Do not go straight to your interview room - we will take you to your interview room. Dress code is smart casual - suits are not needed. Your interview time: Thursday 4th May at 12.50am to 13.25am Interview room: IC CAVE There will be 4 or 5 judges, all from Industry, who have the tough job of selecting the final 4 teams. You will be introduced to the judges at interview. You should be aware that the Dare team and Abertay staff have NO decision in the teams selected, this is purely down to industry selection. Your interview slot will last 35 minutes in total and will be 20 minutes of pitching to the judges followed by 15 minutes of questions from the panel (you must stick to your timeslot).
