Yesterday I was present at the Dutch Imagine Cup semi-finals. I have some very cool projects and the level of the projects was really high.
For instance, the team from Rotterdam made a game with XNA. Very original idea and a cool demo! More info on their project can be found here: http://guardianofeden.nl/
Another team I remember is the team from Delft. They use Volta technology! Their idea is to create a social network in which people can see their "greendex". They are going to use smart energy meters that are expected to be in every Dutch house by 2012. These meters can be polled every 15 minutes to get the amount of energy used during the last 15 minutes. Very cool idea, but they didn't have a demo yet... More info on http://www.greengrasp.net/
The other teams that progressed to the Dutch finals are from Utrecht, Tilburg/Eindhoven, Enschede and Almere. Good luck guys and girls!
