    What problem would you like to solve?

    21% of adults in the United States are illiterate. This in turn results in disproportionate rates of access to resources, jobs, money/funding, etc...

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    By increasing the rate of literacy, we can increase the number of qualified candidates for jobs, thereby increasing the levels of wealth in the communityh and allowing for more expansion.

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    Create training programs that go into low-income communities (mobile) and teach comprehension, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. Using physical sports elements to help the citizens learn.

    Who would that help?

    Everyone.
