This is pretty neat for those of you looking to put your programming knowledge to some good use: Nokia’s Calling All Innovators 2010 application development competition is underway.
This year’s categories – Life Improvement, Eco/Being Green, Productivity and Entertainment – are bolstered by a teamup with the Sesame Workshop “to help support education related apps in the Life Improvement category with a view to encouraging developers to craft creative and exciting apps (possibly using Sesame Street characters) to teach early literacy on Nokia handsets to people anywhere in the world.”
We’ve talked about before how the Body can put some of its gifts to good use, and this is about as good as it gets. And even if you don’t enter the competition, folks like Mobile Active could use enterprising individuals who are willing to devote their technical knowledge to community and education-building causes.
Visit the Calling All Innovators 2010 competition website to learn more and to submit your applications to this worthy cause.
