Meeting Notes
2. ESA grant stipulates an existing 501C3 organization to deliver the program. Steve and Al to talk to various groups in town preferably those with national reach.
- Start with the Y: Steve Court.
3. We felt the notion of applying for this grant either partnering with Hobson or on our own proposal will be a worthwhile pursuit. Potential collaborators:
- CARM , Diversity Council, BEAM, etc.
It can be rallying point to offer a "creative" way of educating youth through interactive gaming tools that is multi-media vs traditional static delivery
4. Socializing first with parents and adult guardians is essential before enrollment of students. Need to talk to "mom/dad" first. Utilizing organizations that have existing processes and network is critical.
