Innovation to change the world
Calling all software developers, designers, business brains and other seriously creative minds, oh, and a raft of social problems which need to be solved through some innovative thinking, and action.
Over one weekend from 19th-21st June 2009, some of the best of the UK’s software developers and designers will be brought together with those at the sharp end of social problems at the Saltire Centre, Glasgow.
Their mission will be to convert six raw ideas to change the world into six social start-ups in under 48 hours — complete with working software.
If you would like to take part, or have the ideas for problems which need to be solved (from education, to health care, the environment; something on your doorstep or stuff that effects the world) then take a look at the Social Innovation Camp website to join up.
The deadline for the big problems is Friday 22 May 2009, so check out: www.scotland.sicamp.org
