Solving Hard Social Problem with Crowdsourcing
IDEO has recently started a site, OpenIDEO, to apply crowdsourcing to social innovation. This is your chance to participate in all phases of the innovation process (inspiration, concepting, evaluation and development) for a big question that is posed by a sponsor. There are two big questions currently in the hopper:
1. How might we increase the availability of affordable learning tools & services for students in the developing world?
2. How can we raise kids’ awareness of the benefits of fresh food so they can make better choices?
Both are excellent challenges for cognitive designers.
