Education, Drones, Robotics, Maker Culture in Camps & Villages: Mobile Innovation Labs
Education: teach maker skills, electronics, programming, drone and robotmaking for protection, communication and development of DIY helper services. Mobile labs teach skills and rapidly share new tools and techniques. Drones for good + maker culture!
Pinpoint
Volunteers from around the country would report a humanitarian disaster using a chain of walkie-talkies. Ultimately, the chain would lead to an administrator who would raise an alert.
Humanity Relay - How can we prevent atrocity and protect vulnerable people in remote areas?
Humanity Relay is a atrocity prevention and protection networking system which can act right upon receiving rescue signals locally and bring offline messages to online global network to mobilize global participation to help people out of atrocity
Use anthropological and strategic culture tools to develop a strategic culture map for forecasting.

Bikes for energy, transport, safety and health
Biking systems should be improved in developing countries - bikes made by locals from local supplies (new design). Potential energy source for other listed concepts involving electronic devices and a potential escape mechanism in some situations.
Prevention network
The objective is not only to eradicate crisis and war situations but most importantly to prevent them.
No pulse implies emergency
Like with human body where a steady pulse indicates normal functioning & no pulse implies emergency, creating a system that facilitates sending a steady pulse signal (hourly/daily) in normal situation, and stoppage in pulse signal indicates emerg
Videre: Creating Undercover Networks to Expose Atrocities through Images
Imagine a world where everyday objects are cameras that film every human rights violation safely. This is what Videre does. Straddling the worlds of media and technology, we have a proven approach that streams information from hard-to-access areas.
Crisis Mapping and Conflict Network Analysis
This project is designed to comprehensively leverage all data available via social media to help practitioners understand and respond to dynamic crises and conflicts. Visual presentation here: http://bit.ly/HUchallenge
Reflexive distributive community warning system
Communities often do not know what to do in case of trouble. Organizing channels of communication and introducing universal codes could increase speed of transmission and accuracy of information
Preparedness Kits
A box of good stuff to enable and empower people to greater security.
Earth Art as Humanitarian Bar Codes
My idea is to use a simple code that people around the world in remote regions could easily draw on their land to communicate to satellite systems using nothing more than farming tools.
Atrocity Crimes Reporting Kit
An on-the-ground tool for civilians/communities experiencing atrocity crimes to report anonymously while provide location-specific information and the type of crimes being committed.
Cub90 riders
Using simple mopeds, like Honda Cub90s, bikers can be used to drop off toolkits to hard to access communities to gather information
My Heart's Just Been Hit by a Bomb and it's Exploding: Children's Drawing Alerts (CDA's)
Children's drawings from around the world are archived and analyzed over time as honest, transparent, and potent precursors to large scale violence.
Communication-triggered distributed alert system (CODIAS)
Chain of communication + individual responsibility + autonomously functioning technology
Peace Intelligence Cycle
Introduce Peace Intelligence (PI) as a parallel to Business Intelligence (BI), leveraging the best BI software, algorithms, and teams to integrate current data and present in real time in visualized dashboards building a self-sustaining PI cycle.
Lightweight remote mini heli-planes
Small scale, remote control heli-planes that are difficult to be noticed can transport little packages, like medicine, first aid materials or digital video camera's in and out of a war zone.
Pre-Programmed Personalized Smart Message Wristband
A text message based wristband that can send any number of predefined messages to a connector, network or hub.
Satellite smoke signals
Program satellites that have thermographic cameras to recognize & alert when they detect bond fires that are arranged at a set distance and pattern. The cameras can detect temperature changes in day or night conditions.
Use wavelengths of Light to Communicate Unique Messages
Use the different frequencies of prisms and light sources to communicate different messages to a hub. Build a system for optical signal regeneration, reshaping and wavelength conversion, to convert the analog light frequency to a digital signal
