This past weekend, geeks, innovators, thinkers, and enthusiasts came together at the Young Foundation in London, UK, to bring to life 7 projects in just 48 hours.  Social Innovation Camp had 115 projects that were narrowed down to 7 for the camp.  And the winners?

SICamp Winners

The Good Gym was chosen as the overall winner followed by Useful Visitors as a close second.  It is worth mentioning though, that all of the projects were able to put together a tremendous amount of work, strategy, planning and proof of concept in just 48 hours.  Enough so that any of them could succeed, gain funding, make new partnerships, etc.  So, keep an eye out for any of the projects to make it big!

Headshift provided some of the Winner's prize as well as a seat on the judges panel.  Lee Bryant shares some of his thoughts about the different projects presented before the judges at the of the weekend on the headshift blog. 

About SICamp

The recent SICamp weekend was the second weekend event of this type for the group:  Providing space and lots of food and drinks for people to put their heads together, devoting a weekend to some new, fun, exciting and innovative responsive to current challenges.  The next one will be announced soon!

Social Innovation Camp is an experiment in creating social innovations for the digital age.

We think the web and related technologies hold huge potential to change some pretty fundamental stuff: how people hold those in positions of power accountable; who they rely on to provide the services they need to live healthy, happy lives; or how they make a difference to something that affects them.

But for any of this to happen, we have to work out what people really need and start building the technology that can help - which is what Social Innovation Camp is all about.

Through unusual, creative events we bring together talented software developers and designers with social innovators to build effective web-based solutions to real social problems.
