the problem:

I would like to make a universal paradise for everyone on the Planet through Investing and Inventing Technology and Extreme Science Advancements in Nano Technology that can do anything you can imagine, solve all your problems in any, create practically invincible anything, etc...

people involved:

why it's important:

I want to do it as I want to do something, anything to get the technology I want.

the plan of action:

I would like to create some inventions I design. I would like to do college, I want to be there to know graphic design and make money to invest with. There are small projects I can do with small amounts of money and there are large projects with a lot of money. Example: A Nano Technologically advanced Volumetric Molecular Scanner that can scan something and make a digitally programmed 3d working copy of it can work with a nano machine with a compupter where you can do anything you want to it instantly. That includes people, objects, items, anything you can think of, completely stop the need for farms and animals farming as all the acids and minerals can be practically instantly printed off a computer with this. I like to think it would cost around $990 Billion USD to design the Scanner. With the Scanner, it can be designed quickly and distributed everywhere. I am the only person in the universe that I know of actually doing something about it.

What I would like to do to make the money is make a Electric Generator that creates its own electricity to power things like helicopters and jets. I already design it and I can talk to engineers that can make it although it would be a hard concept as anyone I explain it to that thinks they know how to do it greater would just do it themselves, take small amounts of investment and the money that would be needed for the scanner would be distributed to lots of people at large companies an they wouldn't do anything to design the scanner. I would like to think that I would need more power from the electric generator as a idea to make people want to buy it. I design a lot of inventions and I can make designs and everything I would need to show engineers how to design them. The electric generator I design is about less than $100.00 in resources, and is less than a few LB's. It is in the shape of a acorn. I call it the Acorn. It is not all about the generator's. I design a lot of inventions and a lot of ideas, companies, etc... that are all amaing and I would like to think that people are interested in what I am interested in though I would like to be around people like that in college environment's.

how you can get involved:

People can work with me on project's and make money. People can invest with the company too.

Happy 22nd Birthday Taylor!

In honor of Taylor Swift’s 22nd birthday, we want to highlight some of the great contributions she has made this year.

In May, Taylor hosted the “Speak Now… Help Now” benefit event in Nashville to help victims of the deadly tornadoes that hit the Southeast. Taylor opened her last dress rehearsal for her Speak Now Tour to 13,000 fans who were able to donate to the cause as well.

Taylor also donated $50,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital this year with the help of the American Academy of Music who doubled her amount.

the problem:

Empowering Students works as the link between student-led service organizations and charities. Through the internet, we connect students with worthy charities. By creating a bond between the student and the charity, we raise awareness of these important goals (of the charity) and promote enthusiasm for the project (by the students). Students are always more excited about a project they feel connected to and are excited about.

people involved:

why it's important:

I went to a high school where our key club was inactive. In fact, with good reason. They didn't know what to do. The leaders were just kids and the faculty advisers were overworked. The intelligent, creative and driven students didn't have time to rise through the "Key Club leadership chain" to get to the role of President so they could implement their ideas. So, they just made their own organizations. They made "Net Night," a basketball tournament to stop malaria in Africa. ES will provide resources to students like these who have ideas but don't know how to implement them -- or to students who don't know they have ideas that are just waiting to come out.

the plan of action:

Empowering Students is a registered not-for-profit in the State of Indiana. Fundraising is underway for an effective marketing campaign targeting Indiana and midwest high schools as well as several midwest colleges. Our professional web page is in the planning stages and will be rolled out before an official release of our organization hopefully by the end of November, 2011. Seed money, now, would go towards marketing our idea.

the problem:

This project was started in order to raise funds for relief from the March 11th Earthquake and Tsunami that devastated Japan. I was living only 200 miles from Sendai, an area hit hardest by the earthquake and tsunami, and experienced the destruction first hand. After several clean up trips to remove debris and refuse, I knew that more was needed. Entire towns and communities were swallowed by the tsunami and leveled by the earthquake. This project was another way I was able to contribute to the rebuilding of a society, and the rehabilitation of a nation.

vital stats:

people impacted:

1,000

people involved:

why it's important:

This issue is very important to me because I experienced the dramatic destruction while I was living in Japan. The community where I was living lost all electricity, heat, and clean water for more than a week. Yet the community pulled together to donate hundreds of pounds of supplies such as blankets, food, and other necessities. I realized that more needed to be done, and I created this project to help in the long term rebuilding of Japan. My home and my family were shaken by the devastation but the community where I lived inspired me to take action and make a difference.

the plan of action:

As I continued to go on clean up trips I felt a sense of selflessness within me that made me realize that I needed to do more. School resumed after a week without power, heat or clean water, and I contacted my National Honor Society Advisor to initiate a service project that would raise desperately needed money for the rebuilding of hundreds of communities. The plan was to sell t-shirts. It started out as a simple local fund raiser, but quickly spread to a Pacific-wide phenomenon. Families bought shirts by the dozens and people shipped hundreds to relatives and friends in the United States. Orders from South Korea, Guam, and Hawaii poured and by June 2011 we had raised more than $11,000. 100% of that money went directly to the American Red Cross who worked closely with the Japanese Red Cross. To this day we continue to order more Shirts For Sendai and the money continues to go directly towards the aid and relief of those still struggling to rebuild their homes, community, and lives.

how you can get involved:

If anyone would like to purchase a Shirt For Sendai please contact Ms. Michelle Gros at michelle.gros@pac.dodea.edu.

People living and dying in starvation.

people involved:

why it's important:

The pain that a starving person goes through hurts me. I do not believe I can live if I could not help a person live for one more day. That is why I want to help as many people as I can. "If you can't feed a hundred, then just feed one." --Mother Teresa

the plan of action:

The Freerice Project works with www.freerice.com. 10 grains of rice is donated for every correct answer given. I plan to host events online in hopes to spread the word around about www.freerice.com. I work with a virtual pet site called www.marapets.com. They allow me to have virtual prizes, and those prizes motivate people to donate. www.freerice.com is FREE, and that's the amazing part. Now a person can not say that they are not able to donate because they are broke. Not only is it free, but it also helps people become smarter. It helped me be better at chemistry, math, Spanish, and other subjects that I am currently taking. It is like a study site, but it also helps people along the side.

how you can get involved:

Go to my website and check what's there that you can earn. You don't have to look at my site, but you can also join my Freerice Group: United Ricers. Here's the link: http://freerice.com/content-group/united-ricers

Or you can make your own group and ask friends to join. Even better...get your school to participate. Maybe one day, I'll see your group as the #1 donating group.
