1. What is the problem that you are committed to solving? 

Project Based Learning is a powerful way to learn. And we are just beginning to scratch the surface of it's potential. 

However, there are several barriers preventing  educators from implementing this powerful learning around the world. One of those barriers is project material costs.  Project costs, especially technology hardware related materials can be much more expensive than than traditional books and school supplies. This solution reduces the cost by about 90% of average. 

2. What is the solution you are proposing? 

People don't donate money easily, however, they are far more likely to donate things they don't need anymore. For example, an old CD player is just junk to some people. But inside that old player is goldmine of technology  that students can learn from and build several projects around. What can be created from this old technology is only limited by their imagination. 

 We need to develop an APP that connects students and educators to the  resources that they need. A worldwide database that people can donate their old or unused stuff. instead of recycling (adding energy cost) turn it into learning. 

3. How will your solution change the world?

There are innovative minds all over the world, money should not be a barrier for their creative development. Get the resources to the young people who need them the most. 

It's not only innovative, it fuels innovation. 

All the technology required in the next 12 months already exists. We just need the funding and guidance to develop and launch the APP and database.

It's a digital platform which facilitates the redistribution of resources for projects based learning. Without technology it wouldn't be possible to monitor and scale. 

• Website 
• Get the APP and database developed and  into the hands the people who need it and who want to support it.  
• JumpStart the database via free site inputs
• Gain exposure and beta testing though MIT's network 

100,000 users and contributors

100 facilities using and acting as local material storage facilities. 

Convert 5 of our 20 volunteers to full time staff.

Operating in 1000 schools and community nodes.

The majority of our customers have been via word of mouth and through our videos and social media. The next step would be through MIT's network for beta testing.  

We have served over a 1000 students and about 100 educators now locally. Mainly through classes and speeches. 

In the next 12 months we would like to be serving 10,000 people. And about 100,000 in the next 3 years.

Good question! 

Revenue Model - Advanced feature subscription, donation and sale.

Long-term sustainability - The growth of the network. value in the resources.

profitability  - the network

expansion - The growth is created by the community development.

Because MIT is so cool!

Help us focus and organize the project.

MIT's Network would be such a huge benefit for us to expand and help more young people.

Our key barrier is exposure.

How Can Solve help - Exposure, and scalability testing
