Conclusion More kids need to find out that learning is actually a
very exciting and fun process that relates to their lives.
As Larry Page, CEO and Founder of Google said; students want to do cool things that matter.
Our program hopes to fill a need to make a difference for local businesses but more importantly it will demonstrate to students that they can take ownership of the future.
The world has become one big community. Change is accelerating. Our children need to know this and be ready to lead it.
