Tech Captains didn't get funded, yet

A few weeks ago I sent in a grant proposal to the Neighborhood Learning Alliance, and it didn't get funded. It was seeking $8,000 for the start-up of a new afterschool program in a local high school in Pittsburgh Public Schools. It was to help with academics and long-term success for the students as they got to college.

My plan called for a computer club of sorts called, Tech Captains. It would seek to get a few kids from all the sports teams, clubs and activities in the school so that they could make software and apps to better help them in their activities. For example, a few on the basketball team could do a stats sheet and playbook for the basketball team's use. So on for drama or band or helping with our summer camp and water polo conditioning routines.

Well, this didn't get funded, yet, sadly.

Now, what to do?
