Themes: entrepreneurship, crowdfunding, finance, & storytelling
Background
Crowdfunding is the practice of raising money for a project through small amounts of money from a number of people. Typically, it’s done online. You may have seen crowdfunding campaigns for all sorts of projects from new inventions to paying medical bills to classroom funding.
​
Project
Create a plan for financing a mobile station that helps your community using a crowdfunding tool to raise the necessary funds.
​
The first step is for you to think about what service, goods, or experiences you want to make more convenient to the people in your community. It could be something with the potential to save lives, educate, or maybe something that is just fun. You decide!
​
Your next task is to figure out how much money you'll need to turn your idea into reality. Finally, you'll need to tell a story that will convince your potential donors to fund your project over other projects?
