About Me
I am between my sophomore and junior years at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA. It's a small school of only 300 students, focused on being a leader in innovation in engineering education. The educational mission is what turned me onto education, the subject that I now spend most of my time on. Ironically, I'm taking a year off of my education to further pursue the topic, while also integrating it with my other two major passions, social entrepreneurship and technical problem solving (most often through software). I'm currently living with five friends from my class at Olin who are also taking the year off as we work together on an educational software business.

    I found your idea to be quite interesting and registered on the site so that I could vote for you. I tried to put together a CPB grant 2 years ago with a similar vision, but lacked corporate funding to make it happen. If you and your team stay on track I'd like the chance to contribute to your project in some way. Good luck!

    I teach 8th grade US History at the middle school level (aka Junior High) I would be interested in hearing more about your program, too!

    Andy,
    I am a middle and high school special ed teacher. I would be very interested to know how your effort to build a successful framework for collaboative instruction is going. This could be very helpful to at risk students.
