Prep Me

My thoughts on Prep Me mostly all lead toward positive things! The issue trying to be solved with the Cross Borders Closing Gaps is a great idea and obviously a world wide problem. 


The ability to access education that is linked around the world is a great idea.  Kids that miss school for reasons they cannot avoid should not be punished by falling behind in their classes.  With the use of Prep Me, the students that want to excel now can with the resources this group has come up with.


Something that would be challenging to figure out would be how you can link education from literally everywhere in the globe and have it meet standards put up by so many different people.  I am not 100% knowledgable on our education system or the global system but I do know humans and it is hard to get them to all agree on something. 


The presentation alone of Prep Me went very smoothly and everyone looked nice and talked.  Incorporating more than just a website but also an app was a great move as well because so many people here in the US have smartphones so the app would always be more beneficial here. 


The idea of playing off the Leap Frog Tablet was also good!  You do not need internet and can download everything you need before you ship them out which is convenient as well.  That is crucial for all the countries you mentioned that are over half in poverty with no access to the internet. 


Having tablet drives is a great way to get more tablets provided to third world countries and even people in the U.S.  The more you can get your idea out and stress all the benefits that can come from good, quality education the more people will be willing to help!


My last applause is that the website for your organization I guess is what I call it, looked awesome.  The pictures of children everywhere grabs people's attentions immediately and hits straight to the heart.  Not like a sad, poor children commercial hit, but like a happy positive hit that makes you want to help out to better a child's future. 


One suggestion I have is that while presenting, put emphasis on the great things some of the kids can accomplish with education resources.  What they can make out of their lives that would go against the norm for whatever lesser situation they are in.  You all did great!
