Inspiring labs generate student interest, like this one here...

Found Magazine's "Find of the Day" for August 10, 2007

Mary Ingram, from Moore, Oklahoma writes, "This was an interesting piece of paper someone in my math class found lying on the floor in the hallway. I kind of see his point. What IS it about paper, anyway?"

HIPSTER BINGO CELL PHONE SCAVENGER HUNT!!!

Can we somehow transform this hilarious game into a cell phone scavenger hunt?

What are we going to call this site?

Here's a little commercial I put together. I think a title like the realist is good. But, what should it be? What should it's mission or manifesto be?

Cell Phone Scavenger Hunt

Here's some inspiration for cell phone scavenger hunts and mobile games:

USC Unicef has many different comittees and projects going at a given time. It seems to be well organized and it has official recognition.

Here's a blurb from their facebook page:

In just the past year we've worked to clean up the state's most polluted rivers, lakes, and beaches. We've also worked to clean up the state's dirtiest power plants, educated the community about genetically engineered foods, exposed consumer rip-offs, won more financial aid money to make college affordable, and raised thousands of dollars for the hungry and homeless.

These would all be good places to look for contributors to this project. More later...

http://www.visualresistance.org

This is a group of activists and artists based in Brooklyn that use images as the primary means to communicate their message. They also have grassroots events, workshops, protests and collaborations. I think having events might be good ways to get people involved in this project, too. Anyway, they're worth a look for inspiration.
