The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Please consider creating a TUMO Center for Creative Technologies for inner city kids currently in Paris, Lisbon, Yerevan, LA, a free-of-charge educational program that puts teens in charge of their own learning. [link removed]
Who it helps and why
A center like this is a game-changer for any city and gives children a leg up, especially in districts where education performance is low. The head of Marketing happens to be here at Harvard for awhile but we can provide you with stats. Artist, Engineers, IT, etc. professionals from the community provide workshops. MIT/Harvard/BU can also contribute.
