What is the Pepsi Refresh Challenge? I am so glad you asked.
Every month, Pepsi gives grants to people and business' with ideas that will have a positive impact. You submit an application to the website, and then people like you have the opportunity to vote for the ideas that they like best.
I could not take advantage of this sooner because my project was being executed outside of the USA. Now that I am in the USA, I will be putting all of my effort into snagging one of the $50,000 grants.
The idea I am submitting is slightly different than my overall concept, because I am looking for funding in a few specific areas.
The "idea" is: I want to create a website documenting the happiness of college students across America.
From August until December I will be taking a road trip across the USA getting this generations view on happiness. All of the students that I interview will become part of an interactive website that shows the happiness of the young people in the country.
**I am looking for suggestions. So if you have any thoughts on how to improve the idea, please share. Either as a comment on this blog, or through email: smilesponsor@gmail.com
The website will also continue to have all of the features that it does now, and my concept is remaining the same. For a few months I am simply focusing on a specific generations point of view.
Side note: I looked up what generation I am in. I really did not know, and I was shocked at what I found.
