With a nice graphics, it's possible to simulate how we can damage our little word. First prize!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;2 - Super Tenia and Friends&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Inside of a pig intestine an tapeworm to control the level of fatness. Too much fat the pig goes to butcher! Else the pig dies. Second prize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;3 - Symbiose&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;This game came from a group of IST students. It's another 3D simulation about the environmental damage that we can made by constructing and developing a industrial city. Third prize!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;4 - PizzaShoot&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the name suggest, the teenage mutant ninja turtles were back to get pizzas in theirs faces! This is my team game with &lt;a href="http://brunosilva.net/"&gt;Bruno Silva&lt;/a&gt;. Fourth Prize!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;5 - Xpaces and qualquer coisa&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;This were a similar game as the well known space battle. &lt;a href="http://www.brunotavares.com/"&gt;Bruno Tavares&lt;/a&gt; has made some great adjustments. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;6 - Dentinho Pescada&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;A warier fish combats the evils sea species. A cool 2D game with a scary scenario. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;So the formula is quite simple: night + some pizzas &amp;amp; very silly XNA games! Yeah! Great event, great evening indeed! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I think that this initiative is a big step to get the game developers inside of XNA gaming world.

Este ano com o tema sobre o Ambiente, a Culturgest acolheu o evento para que 7 equipas finalistas pudessem demonstrar os seus projectos (veja a &lt;a href="http://brunosilva.net/imagine-cup-2008-final-portuguesa/217/"&gt;descrição sumária&lt;/a&gt; de cada um feito pelo &lt;a href="http://www.brunosilva.net/"&gt;Bruno Silva&lt;/a&gt;), as suas ideias para tornar o nosso ambiente um pouco melhor. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Esta final esteve inserida no dia da Inovação, como tal as apresentações dos trabalhos foram feitas na parte da manhã e o fórum de empreendedorismo realizado na parte da tarde. Este fórum foi composto por um painel muito interessante com algumas personalidades bem conhecidas na área e também contou com a presença do Sr. Ministro da Economia, Manuel Pinho. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seguiram-se apresentações de alguns casos de sucesso, como o netjovens, a empresa YDreams, o programa mais, o lançamento do programa &lt;i&gt;boost,&lt;/i&gt;com o objectivo de ajudar na concretização e na verdadeira implementação das ideias promissoras. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O evento terminou com o anúncio, e respectiva entrega de prémios, das classificações das 7 equipas, e os nossos representantes para a final mundial em Paris… é a equipa da &lt;a href="http://www.utad.pt/"&gt;UTAD&lt;/a&gt; com o projecto &lt;i&gt;Smart container!&lt;/i&gt; Acredito, espero que esta equipa tenha muito sucesso na final mundial e que aumente a visibilidade dos projectos e das ideias dos estudantes portugueses. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Queria deixar um agradecimento aos patrocinadores, pelo facto de apostarem num concurso que não só pode mudar a sociedade tecnológica como também acredita e apostas nas ideias nacionais. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outra palavra de agradecimento a todo o público presente, o auditório esteve cheio. Assim é demonstrado o interesse e o despertar para as ideias e para os projectos inovadores.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Para quem não esteve presente, este ano e com o apoio do &lt;a href="http://www.sapo.pt/"&gt;sapo.pt&lt;/a&gt; o evento foi transmitido em directo no endereço &lt;a href="http://videos.sapo.pt"&gt;http://videos.sapo.pt&lt;/a&gt; (ver secção: canais em directo). Neste canal pode-se ainda assistir à repetição de todas as emoções dos projectos a concurso, bem como ao fórum do empreendedorismo. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gostaria de reforçar a importância deste concurso e de iniciativas semelhantes. Estas deverão ser premiadas pela capacidade de incentivar os jovens à descoberta de novas ideias, e à criação de apoios para as mesmas. Sem dúvida que hoje mais do que nunca as empresas, devem competir num mercado internacional, aumentar a sua competitividade através da inovação e com novas apostas de estratégias de negócio. Ao longo das várias edições deste concurso temos assistido uma pequena mudança nas atitudes, não só pela qualidade das ideias e dos projectos mas também pela coragem dos estudantes em acreditar no valor que as suas ideias poderão ter. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Portugal necessita de novos incentivos económicos e mais produtividade, quem sabe deste concurso não nascem estes novos indicadores de sucesso?  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Algumas fotografias deste evento podem ser consultadas em: &lt;a title="http://gchaves.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!ED83D5A50FA5C32!1133/" href="http://gchaves.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!ED83D5A50FA5C32!1133/"&gt;http://gchaves.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!ED83D5A50FA5C32!1133/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><img src="http://brunosilva.net/bs-images/dia_inovacao.png" />  </p><p>Ontem decorreu a final Portuguesa do maior concurso mundial de estudantes o <a href="http://www.imaginecup.com/">Imagine Cup</a>.
