The tagline is "Make a positive impact on the world. Your ideas, your decision, our money." As a crowdsourcing initiative, this is potentially an interesting idea. Lots of the entries are a bit pedestrian and paint-by-numbers, though, and a bit of a chore to slog through. Still, check out the Future Feerless Females Project, and, dear to our hearts of course, The Hatchery (for industrial designers!)
Voting ends September 1st.
Oh no, well I hope you won't think our project is pedestrian. We want to work with a few major corporations, universities, design firms and development engineers to create 4 products that could change the lives of ppl living under $2/day. 1 ground-breaking and affordable product in each of these categories: renewable energy, clean water, sanitation, and agriculture. We want to get the big dogs involved in design for the other 90%, because they can do so much more than small NGOs like ours could ever accomplish for the poor.
