Remix Challenge (Pivoting Team Focus)

The team discussed the important point of driving traffic and our lack of continued information.
We've agreed on a new idea called the Remix Challenge, where we will take existing designs from sites like TinkerCAD, Thingiverse, Makerworld, etc. and recreate them into a video tutorial in TinkerCAD and then reprint them. We will also give credit to the original author.

Donation's Page

Applies to both the GiveButter.com and FundedYouth.org
Need a clear overview of where the money is going and how it benefits FundedYouth.
Campaigns needs to focus on the Mall Space, Public Access, and New Programs.

Measurable Investor Benefits

To drive investor intrigue it is important that we step back and consider the invenstor. Both small and large. What benefits would an investor gain from a donations aside from a tax write off? Is there a measureable benefit?

Measurable Investment

Based on the image, we've developed Course 1. The next step is to begin course 2.
This will encorporate the Youth Advisory Board along with the Weekly Challenges.

$300 for Purchasing Tutor LMS Package

Cost Recap: A funds request of $300 to purchase an LMS package for FundedYouth.
$140 - 200, for the Tutor LMS WordPress Plugin: A professional license with once year support
$65 for a professional looking theme
$15-30/year to purchase FundedYouth.Academy (domain)

Notes:

Purchase Info:
A single site professional license with 1 year support is $200. Because we are a non-profit, we'll receive 30% off, for a total of $140. To make the site look professional we need a professional looking theme. The pro-version of the Tutor LMS does not come with their pro themes. Therefore, we will purchase a professional theme supported by Tutor LMS, listed on their site for $65. Finally, we'll need to purchase the Domain: FundedYouth.academy which will initially cost $15/year and then $30/year after the first-time purchase. We already have hosting, which is why that is not factored in.
