AID:Tech
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Irela
We started AIDTech to offer better transparency in international aid and support services for refugees migrants and those in need. We want to offer a solution to the problem of financial inclusion for those who are currently excluded from public financial and digital services because they are unbanked or undocumented. Using blockchain based technology allows for direct entitlements and complete traceability and transparency. The problem we are solving is firstly that of financial inclusion. Once a beneficiary is registered on our platform via our partners such as the Red Cross the UN or governmental welfare depts they gain a access to a diverse variety of services. Through access to an accredited personal profile beneficiary can lay claim to services such as capital insurance pensions donations and remittances. This serves as the basis towards more equitable basic human rights and access. Using the example of a smallholding farmer by establishing a legal identity (SDG 16.9) documented on the blockchain their profile serves to host entitlements such as land registry records insurance and remittances. In 10 years time we want to see hundreds of millions of users transacting on our platform making the most of services made available via our blockchain solution.

Generation Schools
United States of America
As student needs grow more diverse the challenge of one teacher addressing each child s learning needs becomes nearly impossible. Yet today s instruction still occurs primarily in a roomful of children taught by a single teacher. Despite decades of reform strategies reading levels and math proficiency for students have remained alarmingly low within American public schools. Based on the principle that people learn best in small groups where they can benefit from more individual attention and customized lessons Generation Schools proposes a new school model that reduces the teacher to student ratio to 16 without increasing the current per pupil spending levels. Located in New York City Generation Schools introduces an innovative staffing structure that includes both veteran lead teachers who serve as content experts (e.g. math social studies) and a corps of new teachers who rotate with their students throughout the day. Proposed to launch in New York City as a charter public school Generation Schools' long term vision is a national network of independently managed schools based on this model.
