sky school
To make an education system for ages of children that are capable to take trips without supervision problems all over the world by airplane. Designing camping areas much like cirque du soleil with a main tent put up as they go around the world. The aircraft companies would be allowed tax right offs for the use of the empty seats that they have for students to fly all over the world where seats are available with computer visits to home and family every day. Films etc can be played on the planes such
Describe the critical need your solution addresses.
Edwin Schlossberg was my professor in SIU and is very friendly with Mr. Obama. I could take him to lunch and see if he would offer the idea to his wife to offer it to Obama. Now that the president of the United States is open to new and wonderful ideas for humanities success, the investment to put schools in the sky could become an investment that the world is ready for. There is nothing more exciting than going into the sky to see something that you have never seen. As bucky stated," it wasn't what you thought it would be was it"? The traveling school system teaches every nuance of education. Birds do it, why not people?
The technology is now here with the iphone and mac book to keep the prices low, it would also in ordering for all the students bring the prices lower for the whole world due to the industrial investment always makes it cheaper the more you make. This will help the world in more ways than one can imagine. The artifacts of a back pack class room with the new high tech tents and bed rolls, with the clothes now available for comfort and energy packs for solar and mechanical generators to help the students keep the energy to use the technology is increasing with efficiency. This could start as a non profit design model and move into the government model after it shows the increase of happiness to humanity. All students would document and add to archive for humanity.
Explain your initiative in more depth and its stage of development.
Start a school in L.A. to prove its worth. It is time that any ordinary person can be educated with out the building to walk into, the people to impress, the pecking order of the past educational system. The dogma of making a living in education is not as important as education. The sky school takes this static gang land like school structure with teachers and students alike and forces it into the future. It does more with less with money and experience. The investment in a personal school house so to speak of a students tent, bed, and mobile class room that is given world living ability any where in the world with the desk being the Iphone and mac book. This is the new world of education.
How does your strategy and approach respond creatively and comprehensively to key issues?
I have worked with bucky and anne for 16 years and traveled with them to many universities and even bought their dome in Carbondale and kept it up for 27 years and sold it to Bill Perk to make sure it would be taken care of as a park.
I donated over 500 hours of audio tapes according to bucky and have donated more audio tapes than any one else in the world to the archive. The first tapes were the 42 hours at SIU design department. I made copies and donated them to the office so that bucky would have his own copy, in 1968. My mother Delphia Mitchell helped me transcribe the tapes with lists of the subjects of each tape. I was the first person to fly around the world with bucky as a student until Jamie came to Boden University from Santa Cruz, Ca. and took my place. Bucky stated that I had designed my own educational system, a very average person from a coal mine town in West Frankfort Illinois. This proves it works with the average no body. This is one of the reasons bucky liked me, I was proof the average no body could understand him.
