I just saw the ever so nice finale
projects presentations of the MIT
Nextlab 2008 class run by Jhonatan Rotberg and Luis Sarmenta. The students shared their progress on several marginally compelling prototype solutions to design challenges posed by distributed partners, including...
- NextMap ~ Disaster management and environmental monitoring (with CRS, India; Innovgreen, Vietnam)
- Moca ~ Mobile Care and Diagnostics (with Centers for E-Health and Tele-Medicine in Southeast Asia)
- Baby Blog ~ Boosting School Readiness (with Thrive in Five, Mayor's Office, Boston)
- Giving Farmers a Fighting Chance ~ Fair Price Market-Making (with ITESM Zacatecas, Mexico)
- Get New Money ~ Multilevel marketing for microfinance (with COBIS, Ecuador)
- Mobile Commerce Interface ~ Informing Purchase Decisions (with United Villages, India)
- Fellows Forum ~ A Mobile Social Network for Students (with Telmex, Mexico)
