Jetpack for Learning Design Challenge - Phase 3

• Up to 10 Design Challenge participants will be invited to a Jetpack For Learning Design Camp at SXSW Interactive 2010, in Austin, Texas, USA. Read more about the Design Camp.
• We are using the following criteria to select the finalists:
  • Quality of the idea in terms of 'interestingness' (likelihood that people will be attracted to use it, in education), potential impact/reach (size of audience), potential to promote Jetpack
  • Quality of the implementation in terms of feasibility that the Jetpack will be completed by the end of the design challenge, code quality and extensibility, user experience, documentation, and use of open source best practices throughout the development
