Crowdfunding Beautiful Nation for Education at #OneSpark

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

Everyone here is most likely familiar with what 'crowdfunding' is.  Well, our Ning 3 platform, Beautiful Nation Project, is participating this week for the third year in a row at One Spark - the world's largest crowdfunding festival - in Jacksonville Florida.  In past years, One Spark has been a place for raising funds for sea voyages and outreach. This year, Beautiful Nation is focusing on public schools in the state of Florida, most specifically Title I schools in Jacksonville. Justin is hoping to foster enough votes to crowdfund $20,000 from the event that will be used for school presentations through in-class live conferencing in addition to further development of their Water Quality Testing and Plastic Identification Toolkits for classrooms.  One Spark Festival 2015 If you happen to be in Jacksonville during the festival, find us (project #22269) at the Jacksonville Riverwalk.
