21. Conclusion
 More kids need to find out that learning is actually a
very exciting and fun process that relates to their
lives.
 As Larry Page, CEO and Founder of Google said;
students want to do cool things that matter.
 Our program hopes to fill a need to make a
difference for local businesses but more importantly
it will demonstrate to students that they can take
ownership of the future.
 The world has become one big community. Change
is accelerating. Our children need to know this and
be ready to lead it.
