Central Squared (C2) Challenge Saturday, April 20th, 2013 - 10am-3pm NuVu Studio, 450 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 PLEASE SUPPORT YOUTH AS NEW EMERGING TECHNOLOGY USERS Dear potential sponsor, I am writing to invite you to become a part of an exciting new technology design competition for youth hosted by the Community Art Center at the Nuvu Studio in Central Square Cambridge, MA. The Community Art Center, a non-profit organization that promotes youth development through art and creative technology programming, and NuVu Studio, a full-time innovation center for middle and high school students, are again, teaming up to present the annual interactive, team-based, technology design challenge called: The Central Squared (C2) Challenge, Saturday April 20th, 2013. This event is presented as part of the 2013 Cambridge Science Fair and will engage approximately 50 youth and up to 20 high-tech professionals from in and around Cambridge. - We need sponsors for this special event, and we feel that your organization encapsulates the spirit of the C2 Challenge. We would greatly appreciate your support.
- We are also looking to gather professionals from local technology, innovation, and design entities to participate as coaches or event volunteers in the Challenge. We would like to invite employees from your organization to volunteer.
On the day of the Challenge, teams will learn about an emergent technology concept, explore and play with an example of that technology, and come together to design a product that uses the technology to solve an important community issue. Sponsorship of C2 will present your organization with a high profile presence at the event, as well as a unique opportunity to reach a diverse audience of emerging artists and creative technology professionals, united by their interest in supporting young people and encouraging technology innovation. |
