Interesting application of crowdsourcing for design innovation. Provided it can create enough of Win-Win situation for both students and companies it could herald the future of outsourced, crowdsourced design.

Genius idea to raise money for clean toilets and santisation.

Another example of crowdsourcing innovation. Seems like everyone’s doing it now, even Starbucks ..

.. And in the true spirit of sharing the reward for creating good ideas, Starbucks says: “If we implement your idea, we may give you credit on the site, but we won’t be compensating customers if their ideas are chosen”. That’s nice.
