Submit Your Project Idea
As you think about your project idea, consider:
  • Do you want to work independently, with a partner, or in a group of three? 
  • Are you making something that you want to get into the hands of those who need it immediately (ie: knitting caps for cancer patients)? Are you setting up an ongoing way to help others make a difference (ie: Little Free Library)? Are you designing a model of a product/system/contribution that could eventually help others (ie: a new kind of water filtration system)?
  • Is there an organization that you have identified that can benefit from what you would like to create?
  • What supplies do you need?
  • What questions do you have?​
