 This is very much a work in progress that needs to be radically refined up to and through the event.
-===Team Idea 1: Edu-gaming on rich, real-time networks===
+<strong>NOTE:  These have been re-ordered somewhat based on which projects are picking up momentum.</strong>
+===Team Idea 8: Education everywhere through high quality Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs)===
+WHAT: Create a rich online learning environment using next-generation network technology to improve student engagement and open new learning opportunities.  For example, develop software that allows teams to "interactively watch" a MOOC video -- students could interact with each other while having distributed pause, rewind, and play control on the MOOC video (like watching a movie in a  Google hangout).  Other potential projects: software for students to  "annotate" the MOOC video with chat/written comments that are saved with  the video and played back to future students; derivative videos  including clips from students that further explain parts of the  instructor video inserted into the instructor video; or  pre-scheduled  group hangouts to discuss the content of a particular MOOC video.  Could  require SDN+gigabit+rack capabilities, depending on the variation.

+DISCUSSION:
+===Team Idea 13: Desktop-as-a-Service platform for education, workforce development, access, business development===
+Imagine setting up a business in KC gave you access to a turn-key computer  setup that with a click provided access to software such as Microsoft  Office, Excel, database software, automatic backup, customer  relationship management software, etc., etc.  All you need is a low-cost  computer that can connect via  high speed network to the cloud  computing environment where all of this is running.
+WHO/suggested: David LaCrone, KC Public Library, Digital Branch Manager
+DISCUSSION:  Somebody would have to pay for this so licensing would obviously be a consideration.
+Also great for more public benefit type applications-as-a-service such as something library-based or community college based that gave access to powerful, expensive software more efficiently and less expensively.  The apps could run on the local cloud facility (eg US Ignite Rack) and use gigabit paths from the local cloud servers to virtual desktops in homes  and small businesses (the library patrons or community college students). [Note: This can already be done via VMWare, but the library will need scheduling / reservation / queuing to share the small number of server copies of each software app and not run afoul of licensing   restrictions.]
-WHAT: Kids and learners of all ages game all the time; let's combine current gaming technology and innovative collaborative learning techniques with the rich, social experiences that are possible on these fast, low-latency networks to create highly effective learning experiences.
+===Team Idea 6: Easily accessible healthcare from public kiosks===
+WHAT: Use gigabit uncompressed video and local cloud computing to create a prototype School-Based Health Center of the future.  The federal government under the Affordable Care Act has been strongly encouraging the development of SBHCs across the country.
-WHO/suggested: ~PREP-KC, KCDD education team, KCDD gaming team
+WHO/suggested: Steve Fennel, KUMC / Morgan Waller, CMH; KUMC has a SBHC at Wyandotte High School in KCK, potential test location, Sridhar Pinnamaneni
+Stakeholders/suggested: ~Children's Mercy, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Care Team
-DISCUSSION: Ties in with an idea from Iron Open gaming for social amateur gaming leagues (https://mozillaignite.org/apps/394/) -- early non-funded applicant to Mozilla Ignite -- wasn't focused on educational gaming but might be worth a conversation if there's interest. (-willbarkis)
+DISCUSSION:
-NEEDS:
+===Team Idea 19: City Simulation & Enhanced City Planning/Civic Engagement===
+WHAT: Use gaming mechanics, 3D mapping and GIS elements to foster public engagement in city planning processes. Interactive, real-time response requires gigabit + rack capabilities.
+Code for America would like this to be the Civic Tech track and have proposed the following statement: Create regional civic tech solutions that foster public engagement in city planning processes and utilize public data sets and existing open source technology.
-===Team Idea 2: 3D modeling and printing for education and advanced manufacturing===
+WHO/suggested:  Nate Allen
+Stakeholders/suggested: Code for America fellows, Nick Budidharma, Jase Wilson,
+Otherlab, school districts
-WHAT: Develop a collaborative 3D modeling environment to work with cloud software and CNC machines so that students in different schools can effectively work together to create printable items within a middle school or high school curriculum.  Will most likely utilize gigabit and  GENI rack capabilities.
+DISCUSSION:
+Reminds me of the "CHAnge" project that some of the folks at Hackanooga wanted to put together. It was one of the teams that pitched  Mozilla Ignite but was not funded and has since disbanded -- but maybe they'd be interested in trying to put their shoulder into it again. -@willbarkis
-WHO/suggested: Julie Leach (KCK Schools?), Mike Demarais?
+===Team Idea 7: Social fitness anytime & anywhere===
-Stakeholders: Otherlab, school districts.
+WHAT: People are much more likely to stick to fitness goals if they have peers and a place to meet. Convenient and easy, a virtual fitness platform enables anytime + anywhere fitness with friends for better health.
-DISCUSSION: This is very makery-type stuff; involve those orgs?  Like Cowtown Computing Congress..?
+WHO/suggested:  Bob Summers, KinectHealth Mozilla Ignite team (https://mozillaignite.org/apps/396/)
-A Mozilla Ignite team called engage3D is working on 3D telepresence using the Microsoft  Kinect sensor to stream 3D point clouds might be a potential partner.  Their app is for a slightly different purpose but they're trying to create an educational experience with a group who discovers shipwrecks  and does underwater exploration. Might be cool to be able to print out a  3D model of part of the shipwreck you just explored remotely...
-Another project out of Austin called Lynx Labs has a prototype 3D camera that creates water-tight models on the fly and can be used in conjunction with 3D printing: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/915328713/lynx-a-camera They are coming to the hackfest.
+DISCUSSION:  Specific focus area idea: Use next generation network technology to help address the issue of childhood obesity--including diet, access to food, and fitness/activity level.  //  KinectHealth -- a Mozilla Ignite team working on social tele-fitness  app -- might be a potential partner and they've applied for the travel scholarship so they are interested in coming. They're also very  interested in childhood obesity & diabetes prevention.

-===Team Idea 5: Arts Experience===
-WHAT: Utilize ultra fast networks to dramatically enhance rapid browsing of very high quality images of art works.  Could supplement with the kind of enhanced experiences uses get in person with audio tours, supplementary  video (eg "making of") type things, etc., etc.  The network will also  permit nearly instantaneous “zoom in” on specific details.
-WHO/suggested: >>> Reach out to folks at  Nelson-Atkins Art Museum; Kemper Contemporary Art Museum; Crossroads art  district galleries who are working in these areas.
-DISCUSSION: Open the door for radically different immersive experiences. Could be a  KC economic booster through tourism driven revenue and enhanced local  art industry.
