What happens when you get a bunch of software developers and social innovators together, give them a set of social problems and only 48 hours to solve them?
Social Innovation Camps are about finding out.
Every six months these weekend-long events bring together some of the best of the UK and Europe’s web developers and designers with people at the sharp end of social problems.
The Social Innovation Camp takes a set of ideas for web-based tools that will create social change and develops them over one weekend. Working with a diverse range of people, participants organise themselves into teams and help make a back-of-the-envelope idea into a working prototype - complete with working software - in just two days.
We brought the Social Innovation Camp to Scotland for the first time Friday 19th- Sunday 21st June 2009.
