850 Squared Online Education
I'm a CGI artist whose creating a website that not only provides at-risk kids with hands on computer skills, it demonstrates practical applications of Algebra and Physics, provides them a place to post and view work from their piers, and allows them to ask questions from working professionals.
Q1: If any school teachers or administrators are interested in more information on my program, please contact me. Thank you.
Idea Description
The digital divide grows daily. My program helps address this by packaging high tech skills in Hollywood flash. I’m a 15+ year veteran of Special FX and I’ve designed tutorials that peak kids’ interest by having them recreate the same superheros and fireballs they see in popular movies. In the process, they’ll be called upon to use their creativity, academic knowledge (particularly math) and technical skills. They’ll have a place to post and show off their work. There’ll be contests where kids can win cash, prizes, or professional experience/credit. But their biggest prize will realized in the future when they’re prepared to compete and win exciting and high paying careers.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
1. Complete the website's design and programming.
2. Purchase enough server space and throughput to enable large amounts of traffic through the site.
3. Work with local LA schools to produce and develop supplemental curriculum and assessments.
4. Provide professional development to involved teachers.
5. Set aside money to sponsor some initial design contests

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
