Improve where you live

Have you got a great idea that you think would improve your community through technology?

Want to win the chance to get your idea turned into reality?

Take part in this autumn’s community ‘Transformed by You’ challenge in East Kent to help find solutions together.

From beaches, markets, restaurants, bus stops and skate parks to urban games, accessibility, learning zones, outdoor spaces, busking or street art – if you’ve got an idea, share it and work with others to help it become reality.

Embrace Your Space aims to bring people, communities and technology developers together to come up with innovative ways of using technology to improve their area.

The challenge is now open and you can post your ideas or solutions to local issues through the ‘Transformed by You’ website.

You can make suggestions, comment on others, form project groups and vote on ideas.

A final winning solution will be chosen by a panel of judges at the Innovation Day on 29 November at the University of Kent. All are welcome to attend, in particular if you’ve got skills that can help people develop solutions.

The best entry will win support they need to take forward their solution.

There are already some ideas posted for you to take a look at and comment on.

How can you get involved?

  • Register and post your ideas on the website
  • Pass the email and flyer on to all your friends, family and colleagues and start to come up with ideas
  • If you’re a developer and a designer, post your ideas or link with others to help develop the technology for theirs.
  • Follow us on Twitter

Thank you and we look forward to you being part of the challenge.
