I thought the rules stated the contest was for individuals. I don't see why
schools couldn't take on the project without the prospect of $40,000,
though. It would mean some hefty networking on the students' part as this
takes place on a non-school day. I am most intrigued by the collaborative
nature of this project - what a great way to unite kids from across the
country. For that reason, I will add our school to the list in hopes that
others will join as well.
