As today is the first day of October, I just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for the TED Challenge on Dave Eggers’ wish is October 31.  Learn more below and on Once Upon a School.

The challenge

Design and implement a new and innovative project for local public school students. Collaborate with a dynamic teacher or school to determine the best use of your skills and passion. There are no limitations to what is possible.

Participate by telling your project story

Tell us the general idea of your project, how you shared and employed your particular expertise and creativity. Discuss how you planned and executed your project. Describe the results, how your efforts made a teacher’s life easier. Please include photos or video!

TED project evaluation

The TED community will review your project story and evaluate on the basis of:

Innovation:
Did you use a new model? Is your approach creative? Did you provide students access to something new?

Collaboration:
How well were you able work with the teacher and/or school? Did you address a challenge facing the students?

Impact:
What changed in the life of the students, teacher, school, community? Did your work inspire other private citizens?
