[TriEmbed] IdeaRaleigh

[Alex Davis]

City of Raleigh is sponsoring a competition for ideas "that challenges
applicants to come up with ideas for innovative projects or solutions
that will make Raleigh a better place".

Do you have an embedded idea you think might be civic-minded? There's a
$2000 budget and $500 prize to the winner.

I've submitted my own idea for a solar-powered UV awareness
installation. Imagine an e-ink display mounted in a sunny location near
a playground or park which tells you the UV index and time-to-burn with
and without sunscreen for a few of the common skin types. Maybe they can
stick a free sunscreen dispenser on the same pole if they want.
