Do you have an idea to change the world - Project 10 to 100 - submission deadline 20 October!
Posted in Uncategorized by fedwards on October 9th, 2008
Google has launched Project 10100 - a project that calls for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. Google believes the answers are already out there to help others - “Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university — but maybe not. Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you’ve observed, some notion that you’ve been fiddling with, some small connection you’ve noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes”.
Google are also fully committed to funding the winning ideas. Time is running out for submissions - the deadline is 20 October - don’t miss out!
