It all started with Estudio 6 (an undergraduate class at the Design School, Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia) who participated actively across the challenge as part of their semester program.  The Estudio 6 team originally posted their Concept Let's Meet Your Baby which outlined an outreach program to low-income communities to conduct ultrasound procedures. The class even stayed a weekend with a local community in Bogotá to gain deeper insights to drive more relevant ideas. Once the OpenIDEO challenge was closed they still wanted to dig deeper on this Concept's feasibility and value – so went on to prototype it with real mothers, families and a medical support team.

We can all be part of Realisation, as long as we keep an eye out for exciting developments in this space that we can get involved with, each one in our own industry/region/field of expertise.

But what if we take this a step further, and enable OpenIDEATORS to access a set of resources, toolkits, case studies, that can help them do this on their own, and share back with the community the knowledge they gained throughout their experiments?

What if OpenSTORMs and Tweet-ups were coupled with realisation phases? We could have teams of OpenIDEATORS meeting, prototyping, testing all together...
