mindflower: an elabor marketplace for asd solvers
DESCRIPTION
Melanie Swan and I presented this idea at the Autism Hackathon in San Francisco, July 21-22, 2013. Think about getting paid for solving puzzles like the ones in FoldIt--that's the idea. Note: MindFlower is just a concept, not an actual business or organization.TRANSCRIPT
