IDEAS challenge

Boston Magazine reporter Jamie Ducharme writes that a team of MIT students has developed an app that provides shoppers with a nutrition receipt for grocery store purchases. The app is based on an algorithm that could “parse through data from the USDA’s National Nutrient Database, assessing the nutritional value of each item in the shopper’s cart.”

Dr. Otto Scharmer writes for The Huffington Post about a group of Indonesian leaders participating in the MIT IDEAS program. The program is a “15-month journey of profound individual and institutional innovation and change,” writes Scharmer.
