.NET-students to make the world a little better...

Hi there,

OK, the subject might sound a little edgy, but there's a point in it:
Some time ago I wrote a post about a practical course, where I teach my students the application of a software process model. This is rather about how to develop software than what they develop, but I think it's much more interesting fot them if they can identify with waht they develop. I motivated my students to pursue their own ideas. In order to avoid projects like "yet another sudoku puzzle" I set the official millennium goals as frame for their ideas.

Now, some time has passed, we discussed a lot and discarded one idea or the other. But with the highly intersting outcome that the students developed three absolute powerful and impressive ideas to change the world to the better! I really see a high potential in them so I think I'll prepare our sudents for Microsoft's Imagine Cup and see, how far they can get.

K!
