We, as board, really enjoyed the entire day, and we were happy to see that not only the contestants enjoyed themselves but also the speakers and the organizing committee. Having that said, we would also like to thank our committee which helped set up this amazing event. At the end of the day we had one team that went home with the best idea prize. They came up with a unique idea to change the entire Hofbogen area into a greenhub named: "New Green Theme Park". This park included a brewery, a hostel, a nursery, a bike storage system, and many more unique sustainable stations. Even with this great design, the team (team 9) was very surprised to hear that they had won the challenge, however this didn't dampen the joy. Once again congrats to the winning team, team 9 including: Tessa van Doesburg, Arthur van Doesburg, Ruben Smits, Marius Dam, and Sheelagh Bouvier.
