Step 1 - Interviews of Research, Business, Non-Profit, and Innovation Leaders (30 to 45 minutes, onsite). Leading high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students interview Nobel Laureates, Chief Executive Officers, Non-Profit Executives, MacArthur Fellows, Guggenheim Fellows, Social Entrepreneurs, and Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows, based on a standard interview protocol. This process is recurring and takes place annually.
Step 2 - Peer Review, Reflection, and Critique. It is anticipated that portions of all interviews will contain terms that are potentially new to undergraduates and high school students. Thus, after all interviews are captured, we bring in exceptionally talented undergraduates, graduate students to identify specific terms and phrases potentially needing further explanation for the targeted audience (Grades 6 - 12 and undergraduates).
Step 3 - Community Development Partnerships. We form partnerships with entire cities via simple service learning bridges that mobilize a region's chamber of commerce, school district, and respective universities to apply our strategies so that classroom teachers and students benefit.
The Result. A free on-demand, new media library of the world's leaders, supported by additional student-based tutoring and classroom teacher applications.
This library will be accessible through any digital medium, ranging from the internet to multimedia cell phones and mp3 players. Thus, all information will be on-demand and adaptable to whatever communication tools become prevalent in a knowledge economy.
