Martin @web-strat.netVery cool! Teaching at MIT changes from learning to doing while open plattforms become widespread. Companies behind APIs are supporting the students in their projects. As a result, there are cutiing edge applications by young engineers. Fascinating!
Fascinating are also the reasons why companies sponsor this: open innovation, "free" creativity & engagement by gifted individuals & access to top talent-->hiring-

MIT professor Hal Abelson started today’s final presentation for the school’s “Building Mobile Applications” class by saying, “A course like this couldn’t have existed ten years ago… maybe not even a year ago. Courses like this right now are unique, but in two years they’ll be completely ordinary.”
What’s extraordinary is that on top of a full college course-load at one of the most challenging schools in the country, these groups of students built fully working mobile applications for Windows Mobile, Android, and Symbian devices while mentors from the likes of Google, Nokia, Bank of America, and Microsoft oversaw their progress.
