I can’t believe I forgot to post about this ahead of time but the Worldwide Finals of Imagine Cup 2011 were held yesterday in New York and a team from Kuwait where there competing in the software category. They came up with this idea which they wanted to present to the Ministry of Interior in hopes of having it implemented so we could get a lot of day to day problems solved. I previously posted about them and their idea [Here] if you want to read more on it.
I was just checking the results page and it doesn’t seem they won. Even though I think they must have gained a lot of experience competing at an international level and I’m sure they’re going to be coming back with even more motivation. I really hope the Ministry of Information will still help them bring their idea to life, since it’s an idea that will help make Kuwait a better place. Here is a page from the Imagine Cup 2011 yearbook which has details about the Kuwait team, their project and their intentions. [Yearbook Page]

very good idea. way to let people be more responsible and contribute.
It sounds like a really great Idea, and really hope it gets noticed and used by the government.
Sounds like an awesome idea, hopefully it goes through with the government.
Hey, that’s awesome! It sounds like what I was trying to describe here: https://rekuwait.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/crowdsourced-activism/
I think it’s a wonderful idea, but as with anything, it’s all about solid implementation and creating positive incentives to fix things.
Good job, guys!
hey how come you stopped updating your blog?
I’ve been asking that of myself, too.
I’ve been busy teaching at KU last semester and also took on a few too many design projects. Still not an excuse, though. I’m hoping to start writing again now that I have some time in the summer.
btw is Yousef at Sidekicks your brother by any chance?
He’s my cousin.
oh ok you guys really look alike 🙂
These guys have done an amazing job — really hope that the Government takes the “HINT”
They should have won! Their idea is really nice!
Thank you everyone for their comments 😀
We would’ve loved to go further, but we did rank among the top 20 in the WORLD and we take pride in that 😀
