Science Road Show
Provide stimulating hands-on science experiences to as many elementary school age as possible by bringing special apparatus to schools. Apparatus will incorporate simple self-explanatory operation to minimize the amount of training required by operators..
Q1: Who should the marketing campaign target? Is each school PTA the main source for discretionary funding for this type of enhancement program?
Idea Description
Igniting the spark of scientific inquiry is a primary step toward encouraging students to pursue science careers. Many science professionals can recall the experience early in life that led to their subsequent life-long studies in the sciences.
A traveling road show will bring this type of experience to many students who otherwise would miss out on them.
The elements of a science road show include a presenter, a portable set of hands-on apparatus, a script, and a means of transportation. We would work through PTA organizations to schedule these shows. Ideally, two shows could be done per day, and would be economically viable.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Ten thousand dollars would pay for the development of several scripts, an initial set of apparatus, and an initial marketing campaign covering a half-dozen local school districts.

Post a commentI think it's a great Idea.
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
