Project details
What we need
- A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
- Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
- Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details
We would like to build a downloadable app or .exe that will allow students to build or select custom Zoom videoconferencing backgrounds with a watermarked Digital Wish logo in the corner. It needs to work on cell phones, computers, iPads, and tablets. We need to research a feasibility plan and strategy for each platform.
What we have in place
- We currently have management support, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have possibly internal help from Zoom, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to provide more hotspots and connectivity for students nationwide.
Digital Wish has 70K education members, who all use Zoom for online learning. Their students need exciting backdrops for Zoom to make learning more fun. If they can customize them, themselves, students would really engage! We want to become the nonprofit of choice for Zoom, nationwide.

Our mission
Bring technology to classrooms in order to prepare students to thrive in the global economy.
What we do
Digital Wish is a 501c-3 nonprofit on a mission to solve technology shortfalls in education. Every child deserves a technology-rich education to provide them with the skills necessary to thrive in the global economy. Digital Wish partners with technology providers to distribute free or reduced-cost educational technology such as refurbished laptops, tablets and internet "hotspots" to schools and teachers. Digital Wish manages a community of 64k educators in the US, assisting them with their technology needs through lesson plans, fundraiser campaigns for their "technology wishes" and access to affordable educational technology used in the classroom. Since its inception in 2006, Digital Wish has granted over 31,000 technology wishes to educators worth over $17 Million, and administered grants together with Verizon, Dell, Motorola, Henderson Foundation, and Microsoft.
Testimonials
Thaerin took this project and ran with it, with minimal guidance. She was very enthusiastic and when the project took an unexpected turn in strategy due to technical reasons, she came through with the proper and well-crafted deliverables to take us to the next phase of this project. Thaerin was great!
