Start Something: The Power of Side Projects (medium.com)

Hey, We'd love to see and hear about your side projects. Share them here.

My side project is a topic map-based personal learning environment (PLE) with extensive semantic web integration: http://www.perfectlearn.com/.

Activist & Civic Engagement filterable event calendar & Org list: ActivateHub We are live in Portland and Detroit. External calendars are set up for auto aggregation. Main purpose is to support existing organizations and movements, get people offline & actively involved in their community. Check out http://portland.activatehub.org

Past side projects include: organizing arts festivals, and "The Canada Effect" - YouTube videos I produced after interviewing a few hundred Canadians about their healthcare - which spawned a full feature documentary "The Healthcare Movie" - narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. I then traveled to screenings and spoke on panels about healthcare.

My side project is an app to help solve world hunger. People play trivia and earn real rice for world vision. Cool, right? I just completed the app after finishing my MBA and you can check it out here: http://www.pocketrice.com.au/

My current side project is a hashtags dedicated, social media search engine. It currently pulls from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Tumblr, Vimeo and Tumblr. Check it out at http://hshtags.com/

My side project is a Course Scheduling application (http://sourceforge.net/projects/coursescheduler/ & https://github.com/CourseScheduler/coursescheduler) that allows students to retrieve course information from their university and then build a schedule of classes based off of that information. It currently only works for Kettering University (Flint, MI), but I'm currently working on abstracting the application to work for other universities.

My most recent side project is called The First Fund. A scholarship for first-grade students and the teachers, parents, and guardians who love them. http://www.thefirstfund.org/
