RE: Steem for Students and Non-Profit Empowerment
This is an interesting plan. Science connections could be made as well with Steemit. Students could study at-risk ecosystems or endangered species, and then design and and implement a multimedia campaign to educate the community and raise money to be donated to their cause. There are many opportunities for student engagement when the outcomes are real and quantifiable.
Yeah, this is a great platform to reward both non-profit and student work. Getting the community involved in the projects could go a long way to completing them.
Absolutely @blerdrage, Steem blends two powerful features... the audience + the funding. And we haven't even talked about delegation yet, which could also be used to support non-profits and philanthropic organizations even further.
Hi @sndbox, i am a follower of your work and i appreciate the novelty and importance of what you are doing.....I work for an International NGO based in Watertown, and recently we are exploring new ways of creating awareness for the non-profit work that we do globally as well as accessing opportunities for crowdfunding opportunities beyond our reliance on our traditional donors which for the past 50 years has been the USG....Since u are based in Philadelphia, i would like to contact u and share ideas with you on how we could collaborate with your initiative, using it as a pilot for a new model of engagement and funding for international NGOs...I will appreciate if you can reach out to me asap....my coporate email is [email protected] .looking forward to hearing from u.
It definitely opens up a lot of possibilities. There is a very real philanthropic atmosphere here, and I think it could open up a lot of avenues for what would be one of the first truly global and instant funding methods.
I love that it would drive kids to really think about the quality of their work. I look forward to seeing the evolution of this. If the block chain can truly disrupt education in a meaningful way then that would be a net win for everyone.
