More than 180,000 people from around the globe participated in this year’s contest – whether through submission or support – and 32 teams have been selected as regional finalists. A panel of judges led by President Bill Clinton will select a grand prize winner and four runners-up on 12 October, each of which will receive the opportunity to work with IBM and its partners to bring their idea to life.
Last year’s winner was Project OWL, a deployable mesh network made out of rubber ducks. The team’s since gone on to develop and test its “Clusterduck” technology in real-world environments. You can read more about Project OWL here. Here’s a handful of the 32 entries competing for the top award this year along with their relevant entries from IBM’s blog post announcing the finalists:
Rx Pharmacist
Prometeo
QRP-Eden
Blooming – Everybody Smiles More
