- Link-me
-
Link-me overcomes rural isolation problems and uses a web-platform that allows rural NEETS to access live webinars on careers topics, and on soft-skills, but more importantly to set-up 'buddies' and 'groups' to support each other in their efforts to gain access to employment and training, and on to their first steps in their career.

- YourPosition
-
YourPosition enables young people to locate places that have current job positions available, these are sent as a notification alert on their mobile device. As soon as the user enters into a certain location, the app searches for vacancies over a certain mileage of radius from their current position. As well as sending vacancy alerts it also rates them in urgency or importance, for example it would be of a bigger brighter alert if the application date was near or after setting up the app with your dream job specification it will also search for aspects of your spec that will relate to sending urgent attention alerts that are related exactly to the users needs.

- Spotted mobile phone app: Spot it. Share it.
-
As part of the Interactivism Hack Weekend, Enabled by Design and Go Genie were invited to join forces and work together on developing a mobile phone app to support both projects. We would like to develop a mobile phone app to allow our communities to contribute to our existing websites (http://www.enabledbydesign.org and the Go Genie website which is currently being developed by http://www.peskypeople.co.uk/) more easily and while out and about. The mobile app would give people the ability to take a photo on their phone of a 'Love', 'Hate' or something they've 'Spotted', write some accompanying text and post it to the site by sending it as a text message. A bit like twitpic but for the Enabled by Design and Go Genie websites respectively.

- Go For Local
-
It is about having the internet or app space to ask for something if you wanted it as a user of services, and being able to say that you can provide it in response as a small business, or a social enterprise. It is about being able to list what you provided, and who for. It is about anyone in the local area being able to provide feedback on those services, shaping how the local market develops. It is about putting accountability and consumer power into the hands of those who most need those services, who are often vulnerable, and who often feel unable to express dissatisfaction or room for improvement for services. And it’s about making those services most accessible and user-friendly through a simple web interface for vulnerable people in their own homes.

You want to go out but don't know what is accessible for you to go to. When you plan your visit but it can be hard to navigate and get to where you want to - especially if you have to travel a fair distance from the car / train / bus stop. Older people don't think of themselves as disabled but may have access needs. Older people don't like asking for help. What if they could find that information on their mobile? By looking at different options such as a mobile phone app but also text or voice message. It has portability and potential. Being able to know what is around you means you know the nearest cafe / bar / restaurant / shop, toilet etc. with the access information you need at your finger tips.

- EZPZ Browser ("eezy-peezy browser")
-
This is a joint proposal from the RSA Digital Engagement Working Group (RSAde) and Lancaster University Management School and Computing Department. Our objective is to provide a simple user-friendly educational browser for older people who have no or very little prior experience of using a computer or smartphone. It will provide a built-in tutorial and online guide. The browser will provide simple instructions that are very easy to navigate for a PC novice. It could be either a website that would act as the PC homepage or an app that runs on a smartphone on a tablet PC such as iPad or ePad running the Android operating system. The tutorial navigation would be included in a permanent position of the screen with a clear route to return to the start if someone loses their way.
