Join Social Innovation Camp and the The Melting Pot Edinburgh for an afternoon of thinking about how we can use technology to tackle social problems.

You don't need to know anything about technology to take part; just an interest in making your world a better place.

It's a chance to find out a bit more about how you can get involved in our forcoming Social Innovation Camp in Edinburgh, June 2011.

A bit about Social Innovation Camp

Over one weekend from 17th-19th June 2011, we’re bringing together some of the best of the UK’s software developers and designers with those at the sharp end of social problems at the Informatics Ventures Forum in Edinburgh.

Their mission will be to turn six back-of-the-envelope ideas that could change the world into social start-ups in under 48 hours – complete with working software.

Founded in early 2008, Social Innovation Camp Ltd is a launchpad and accelerator for technology-based social ventures.
