The three brightest ideas from the open TEDxChallenge are in for the final draw – hoping to promote, share and realize their projects through the TEDx auction that will come up later tonight…..
Encouraging the young generation to experience the complex dynamics of developing countries issues ‘On The Ground Reporter’ is an interactive game that combines multimedia interfaces with real imagery aimed at children and young adults. Its uniqueness and value lie in supplying relevant input about the complexity of conflict situations as well as gaining an insight about the work of media and information gathering.
Aiming to trigger social responsibility via social media usage, Treemagotchi is a visual representation of your social network and its sustainable behavior. Your social group has shared and personal responsibility for the digital tree – it grows by each feeding (that equals one green or fair action), and dies otherwise. Over 10,000 fair actions had been performed by 24,000 participants.
The Wind Drinker technology offers the conversion of one free commodity in the third world – wind – to create a scarce one – water. Developed by researchers from the Delft University of Technology, Wind Drinker is an efficient device combining windmill and a desalination pump, a prototype that will produce an average of 60,000 litres of clean drinking water per day for at least 10,000 people, is being produced and 75 percent funded…will TEDx supply the last 25 percent?
Find out tonight who will turn their vision into a reality…
