CMU Australia and the SIFE Competition in 2012

"SIFE students are changing the world by making a difference in their local communities. They invent new futures for themselves and for others through entrepreneurial educational outreach projects.
SIFE challenges students to take what they learn and apply their knowledge in real situations for the benefit of all concerned.
SIFE challenges business and industry to become involved in a partnership, to mentor students and judge their projects at National Conference and Championships." SIFE Australia.

The reason I post this is because I believe that a lot of us have good ideas and projects that can be presented at the SIFE competition. The CMU-Australia SIFE Group at the moment is undertaking 4 projects. If students from our Social Innovation class put their projects forward, we can have a few more great ideas to participate in the 2012 competition.

This is a great event. I think that we can learn a lot by just participating even if we might not win the world championship. But who knows?

Here is a video link to Egypt's presentation (2009 World Champion). Their presentation is really impressive.
