Imagine Cup

Ok, I’ll admit I promised I didn’t have any plans to participate in any more developing contests. However, how could I refuse joining a team from my university who became second at last years Dutch finals of the ‘world’s premier student technology competition’, the Imagine Cup. After a few weeks of hard work on our application and presentation, we were selected to present our solution named IConnect at the Dutch finals in Amsterdam. Incredibly, we have been chosen to represent The Netherlands at the worldwide finals in Seoul, South Korea in august! I guess I have to sneak out of Redmond for one week then!
