I Have a Dream
Information for Sponsors

The I Have a Dream educational program helps kids start realize their dreams about the future and a better world. It asks them to plan, design, and implement an Internet based project to realize their dreams in collaboration with peers.

For teachers, I have a dream provides enhanced learning experiences in schools.

We want to award projects that

involve many kids and youth, ages, languages, and countries in planning and implementation
stand a good chance of continuing beyond the program's annual schedule
use Kidlink's free infrastructure
is compatible with Kidlink's philosophy

Introducing Prizes

To increase projects' chance of survival beyond the educational program's schedule, funds may be needed. Fundraising has been included in the lesson plans to make the program more realistic from the students' perspective.

In addition, we wish to award selected Dream Projects that satisfy our criteria as follows:

1st Prize	$10,000
2nd Prize	$5,000
3rd Prize	$2,500

We want expenses paid for travels to the award ceremony for key participants in the winning teams.

This award program will not give prizes to brilliant students, teachers, or schools. The objective is to provide superb projects with funding to help them survive and become more useful for their beneficiaries.
