<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Mitch,<br><br></div>This is a really good idea, and some of the ideas shown are excellent.<br><br></div>What I'm wondering about is whether there's a forum for exchanging ideas such as these. (This forum seems not to be such.) <br>
<br>Ideally, that forum might be a hackerspace, but one is not always able to participate in a like-minded hackerspace. <br><br>For my part, I can often come up with ideas I have little hope of implementing myself. At the recent Mini-Maker Faire in Newark, I found it stimulating to exchange ideas -- to GIVE ideas, really -- to others who were working on projects.<br>
<br></div>Do you know of any Internet forum that leans in this direction?<br><br></div>Bruce Freeman<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 2:43 PM, Mitch Altman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maltman23@hotmail.com" target="_blank">maltman23@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

To help reduce electronic waste, Arizona State University, The New America Foundation, Slate magazine, and Tsinghua University are collaborating to put on a challenge: Come up with cool projects to help reduce e-waste, and you could win some cool prizes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A panel of judges made up of Instructables staff and respected members of the community including Chris Anderson and Joi Ito will rate the finalists.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Open to any hackerspace or individual or groups in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and China.<br>
