===Team Idea | ===Team Idea 11: Better Weather Prediction=== | ||
WHAT: | WHAT: A team at UMass/Dallas-Fort Worth lead by Mike Zink is using low-cost small RADAR deployment and network-on-demand capabilities to detect and analyze severe weather including tornados, flash flooding, etc., only when it's needed to save lives and costs (e.g. via Internet2 connection between Dallas and KC). | ||
WHO/suggested: | WHO/suggested: | ||

===Team Idea 7: Social fitness anytime & anywhere=== | |||
WHAT: People are much more likely to stick to fitness goals if they have peers and a place to meet. Convenient and easy, a virtual fitness platform enables anytime + anywhere fitness with friends for better health. | |||
WHO/suggested: Bob Summers, KinectHealth Mozilla Ignite team (https://mozillaignite.org/apps/396/) | |||
DISCUSSION: Specific focus area idea: Use next generation network technology to help address the issue of childhood obesity--including diet, access to food, and fitness/activity level. // KinectHealth -- a Mozilla Ignite team working on social tele-fitness app -- might be a potential partner and they've applied for the travel scholarship so they are interested in coming. They're also very interested in childhood obesity & diabetes prevention. | |||
