I love middle school age boys & teenagers alike and the smart ones need to be challenged. Bored, smart kids challenge their parents (haha). Honestly, investing in a young person's own understanding of self is one of the most valuable, lasting gifts we can impart on them. <span style="font-size: large;">Every one of us has natural strengths, especially young people.<b> </b></span> </span></span><br />

<b style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A Final Word from Mrs. Strepek: </b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large; text-align: center;">When faced with choices Lean into your Aptitudes, Analyze, Adapt & Innovate. Never be afraid to fail. Even Google says, "Fail Fast, Recover Quickly". Brilliance is in the fail cycle. Failure is like the turbulent, foamy edge of a wave crashing down on the shore. Believe in yourself enough to take chances... you have a lot to offer the world. Risk is the pathway to reward. To be a change agent one needs their giftedness developed. Each person is worthy of a purpose driven life.</span><br />

I am raising money to create the iTreeware Tech Cafe'. a campus that fosters community and innovation on a small, cozy scale. The campus could be at the corner of Rt 72/ Randall Rd where traffic is 4,000 cars/ hr. With proper build out this location could support heavy foot-traffic while supporting the preservation of 150 year old homesteader buildings that are slated for demolition this year. The demographic of the area supports profitability with abundance, youth of all ages, a township invested in healthy programs for the young and older & family-centric values. Schweitzer woods down the street is donated from the same family. Together these properties preserve a period in time gone by. <br /><br /> On a personal note. In my local community, I interact with brilliant youth from our Fox Valley community. I have grown to see that we have an opportunity on our hands. Dear Neighbors: We are sitting on a trifecta- we have science-minded talent, a "family oriented community" invested in the next generation & a country that needs innovative minds and new ideas to propel forward.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">iTreeware believes the USA already has what it needs to make big discoveries. </span> The elements in the formula can be reorganized. We are crowdfunding to raise funds to create a prototype <b>Tech Cafe' </b>that brings high-technology to a suburban community with real business challenges, human interaction and we can accomplish new things. We can work together. The iTreeware Tech Cafe' Campus aims to inspire, equip, and connect our science-talented citizens to local business success stories while giving the older, wiser crowd to season it with wisdom. To do this <span style="font-size: large;"><i>we invite local business to bring their business blockers & pain points to us every day... and let our own local citizens innovate solutions over coffee at the <strong>Tech Cafe'</strong>.</i></span><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><img alt="" class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/12986023_1468703649.3112_funddescription.png" width="100%" /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.itreewaretech.cafe/">iTreewareTech.Cafe'</a></span></div><br /><br />/object/<strong> iTreeware Technology Campus</strong><br />/tag line / <strong> meetup @ the TechCafe' </strong><br />/futureURL / <a href="http://www.itreeware.com/techcampus">www.iTreewareT</a>ech.CAFE'<a href="http://www.itreeware.com/techcampus"><br /></a><br /><br /><br />/iTreeware Technology Cafe /<br /><strong>/VALUE ADDED /</strong><br />...................................................................................................................<br />The iTreeware Technology Cafe sets up an eco-system of networking opportunity between high-tech business professionals and fresh, innovative, new, talented minds and mixes in the wisdom of the older generations all the he Northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL.

I aim to empower them & scaffold America's best & brightest to SUCCEED in the global marketplace of innovation.<br /><br />To mention a few ways I engage with youth today:<br /> #1.) Created a free, open-source Inspirational workshop for students in grades 3-12, called "Innovation in Me". <a href="https://innovatewithme.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">blog</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/InnovateWithMe/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">facebook</a><br />#2.) Contributed to an educational effort born out of an Urban Sustainability hackathon in Chicago, 2013. At this hack-a-thon I met with 7 other people and we formed "<a href="http://www.freedomgames.org/#!planet-lab-launch/c1pkm" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PlanetLAB</a> "- winning 3rd place, then advancing to the 'next round' and winning 1st place. PlanetLAB is an edTech web app for STEM eduction, in which, hands-on projects are gathered into a fun, engaging, easily searched, geoLocation based resource that matches finds nearby hand-on STEM programs to deepen curiosity and facilitate deep understanding. Stay tuned! PlanetLAB been funded by the National Science Foundation!<br />#3.) Invested 5 years teaching high school Technology class at college-prep <a href="http://www.harvestchristianacademy.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Harvest Christian Academy</a><br />#4.)

The concept is reproducable across America. There is no strain, the details are in my mind- like they have been handed to me completed. I am an artist with Technology, TeamBuilding, Organization, Education talents. I am acting on the burden of this vision because I believe there is a real opportunity to fortify our community for generations to come. For me, personally, this is about taking action on a vision & giving back to the country I love- America. I have the schematic for the building in my mind.<br /><br /><br />Jump-Start American Ingenuity at a grass roots level & Donate Today!Tree Strepekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04725452733847742822noreply@blogger.com0
