It's needless to say that the final event of the TU/e Contest 2017 was a great success! I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as we did. We would like to thank each and everyone of you for your contribution, enthusiasm and praises. We couldn't have done it without you. 

The room started to fill as our jurymembers, partners, and visitors all entered the Blauwe Zaal. At the door, everyone was given a small device to vote for their favorite group and project. That is why in the first round the students were al facing the entire audience. The audience made their decision and two groups won the Audience Prizes! Eline van den Haak, winner of the first TU/e Contest in 2015 presented the awards to her fellow students. 

The Audience Prize for Ideation & Prototyping was won by Jakx.

After the second round of pitches it was time for the jury to go into deliberation while Eline and Frederique van den Haak inspired us all by telling us to never let age or doubt play any role in creating your own success.
