3. We need to set the stage for 300K members (or planets) each having 1 to 50 projects? This is our 5 year business target. The original idea of a google maps like navigation in an Invention Universe is very popular with the kids I have polled. What if the 1st screen has 150 galaxies? You zoom in on a galaxy and you see 200 solar systems. Then you zoom in on a solar system and you see 10 planets. Voila … 300K planets. If we need to expand beyond that, we could add quadrants that have 100 galaxies. Also if a member wants to expand, he/she could add moons to a planet. One for robotics, one for games, one for graphics, one for... Browsing: When you mouse over, you see pop-up window descriptions of the galaxies / solar systems / planets. Maybe there is a BIY solar system with most popular, newest, featured... Searching: What if you could search for a list of planets that have key words that an author identifies when uploading a project? Targeting: What if you could set coordinates to go directly to a quadrant, solar system, planet? When you do this, the rocket goes to hyper-speed and zooms through galaxies, solar systems and then lands on a planet. What if we set up bookmarking for future targeting? Graphics: Graphics may be 80% of the reason visitors are attracted. What if we offer a library of user created graphics for rockets, planets, planet scenes and aliens? Notes

4. The profile/planet page is perhaps the main reason why parents would pay $15/mo for their kids to be members. This page should be like a modern, graphical resume that kids could use in a school application. From a kid's perspective, this page should be like a Facebook page to show off your projects and inspire collaboration. Creating Planets/Aliens/Profiles What if we enable a new member to pick from a library of planet scenes which they can modify or they could choose from a template or compile a planet scene from a menu of planet elements. What if we enable a member to create their own HTML planet scene. See next page for all the functions that should be on a planet scene. Uploading A new planet could be automatically stored in quadrant/galaxy/solar system co-ordinate by: - Country / state / after-school program - Date created - Type of project - Most popular - Featured - Newest I love the way MySpace makes it so easy to go to your page: www.myspace.com/barackobama Maybe you apply to join your planet in a particular solar system.
