The Dream Catcher

2. Many of our youth lack opportunity to
grow, learn and believe in their
capabilities. This is a fault on the
educational system, but more
importantly it is a fault on our society
for not investing in their abilities and
dreams.
I am proposing The Dream Catcher
Project. A program that not only affords
our youth with opportunities to explore
their technology passions, but also a
project that helps them invest in
themselves.
The Dream Catcher Introduction

3. The mission of the Dream Catcher is to
provide students an after school
program to learn and work with
technology. We will also sit down with
each student to discuss what their
dreams and goals are.
Our mission is to relate with every one
of our students on a personal level. We
need to give them a reason to believe
and a reason to care.
The Dream Catcher is designed to allow
students the hands on experience of
working with technology and allow
them to visualize where they want to go
with their lives.
