Build the "Smart" Theme-Park

Construct a “Smart” theme-park targeted for next-generation kids. Use Digital & Sensory Network technologies for all objects in the park to be “Smart” & provide a visually rich contextual experience – (i.e. provide information tailored based on where you are, what you are doing, who is around & what has been done before) – for every participant.

The theme of the park should be to:

- showcase the role of fun ‘n joy in learning new things

- focus on language learning

- emphasize parent-child relationship building

- illustrate power of collaboration & partnerships in society

- demonstrate value of leadership by action & participation

- personalized experience per chosen profile (age, interests) to bring out individual talents

- hands-on experience for kids to simulate real-life situations through illustrations (e.g. use a “Finding Nemo” Participatory Real-Time Fish-Tank environment for Kids to learn about self-confidence)

How to make it happen:

- Use the “Start Small, Deliver Big” mantra.

- Involve kids, parents, teachers & researchers from educational community to collaborate & contribute towards the “story-lines” [exhibits] within the park. [Identify 10, Focus on Top 2 initially]

- Involve technology companies (digital animations, smart objects, real-time data management) to collaborate & contribute towards the “tech-glue” that makes things happen.

- Collaborate with finance professionals in my team to identify risks, costs, Return-On-Investment estimates & plan the scope, development timelines accordingly.

- Importantly, at any early stage, I’d like to get seed venture-capitalists interested by showing them initial plans, whiteboard-visualizations through collaboration tools.

- Collaborate with federal-state-local representatives (with guidance from investors) to identify the right fit for park-location – based on market demand, business-incentives, economic policy
