Imagine Cup - Embedded Finals
The finals of the Imagine Cup are coming up tomorrow, July 8th - the theme for this years competition is "Imagine a world where technology enables a sustainable environment", this sounds like the perfect challenge for embedded hardware and software engineering!
There are six teams through to the Windows Embedded competition finals (see below) - the teams build a customized Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system image as part of their competition entry, each team uses the same baseline hardware (ICOP eBox), the teams can of course expand on the base hardware by adding their own peripherals.

I did ImagineCup when I was in college, definitely a great time. No teams from the US this year? Figured that I would check the site, but it's already changes to Egypt 09.Anonymous

Glad to see Ukraine in the final !!! When I was a student we also planned to take part in this competition, but later (unfortunatly) the plans of our university changed.
