Summary

Engineers Without Borders Canada leveraged Twilio's SMS API to create a daily voting reminder tool that helped them win the grand prize of $50,000. They were initially drawn to Twilio due to its flexibility and easy API, which provided the necessary tools for their National Conference. The organization built an app that delivered reminders to members' smartphones, helping to maintain sustained interest in the voting process. With the success of this project, Engineers Without Borders Canada plans to integrate Twilio and SMS services into more of their work, exploring opportunities to use these technologies to build a more cohesive online community experience for their members. The organization sees Twilio as a key bridge between the online and offline worlds, enabling them to strengthen relationships and communities through interactive applications.
