I'm definitely down with that. I've been trying for a long time to devise a large scale project for my kids that would require skills from a variety of realms...

To compensate for attention spans, maybe it could be a Two Hour Startup. They could organize a Hot Cocoa Stand* or something. I definitely had tons of businesses when I was young. ("When I was your age, I had to write advertisements on wide-ruled lined paper ... by hand ... in PENCIL...") I'd be happy to help organize and run the event if some parents are interested. Marina *They say the best way to plant the seed of capitalism/entrepreneurialism is to give a kid at a lemonade stand $20 for a cup. The only children I have ever seen selling something in Seattle were selling Obama t-shirts on 4th of July, and I couldn't very well give them my money. I really need some kids to sell something [not incompatible with capitalism] so I can give them $20. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Website: http://saturdayhouse.org/ Post: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
