See It: The Community being helped
The problem I am trying to solve is that of the epidemic of apathy toward academic success. Many of my high school peers value their academics significantly lower than sports, girls, partying, and other things. While those things are fun, academic success is one of the most powerful investments in their future. I want to make balanced academic achievement once again a priority for my generation.
Believe it: Describe your project/org
My project is designed to give people a full system and mindset for academic achievement that provides a balanced life as well as outstanding grades. It pulls from the disciplines of behavioral psychology, educational psychology, organizational and industrial psychology, and common-sense organizational methods. The problem mentioned above is addressed head-on by shifting the locus of responsibility to the student while simultaneously giving them a virtual arsenal of emotional and organizational techniques for academic achievement. These skills can also be applied to any other arena of life, especially athletics, so the motivation to learn and use the material is definitely intrinsic motivation.Build it: Steps taken to create the project/org and the kind of impact made
I have spent around eight months researching, developing, and refining my project to equip students for incredible academic achievement. I have presented it to several administrators at my school, I have had it checked and edited, I have presented it to a small body of students as a test-run, and I have maintained a blog about bits and pieces of the material. I'm currently putting the finishing touches on a presentation I will make for the entirety of my school on the subject of academic achievement. I plan to begin private consultation with students and much, much more.Vital Stats
