FreshBrain - no zombies required
Please watch this space, freshbrain.org, which, as of 8/13/2007 lists a holder page with the description:
An independent nonprofit focused on enhancing the education and development of our youth in the areas of business and technology by providing hands-on real world experience.
More info as it unfolds, but if you have any interest in helping to to educate kids using technology as a tool, keep an RSS reader pointed to the FreshBrain blog:
The FreshBrain project is being created to enhance and extend the existing educational system. It will give students a chance to work with the latest technology in a supportive environment where they can explore and create, where they can take an idea and turn it into something real. If you think of the Curriki Global Education & Learning Community project as a resource to "open source" k-12 edcucational materials... and we hope you do! You could think of the FreshBrain project as a place to invite students to start getting technology training and exposure that would lead to using the technology to enhance the learning materials that are accumulating in Curriki. This starts to provide resources for education in places where web access is empowering and enabling, as opposed to "computer class" in a school being 30 minutes a week of typing and presentation training.
