Experienced, inspiring, Build-It-Yourself specialists, (many from MIT and Harvard) collaborate with kids, parents and teachers via live Webcasts. ($10/hr for babysitter, $10-$20/hr for camp or after school program, $10/hr for public school, $50/hr for private teacher.) If a member pays $10/mo and does a 1hr workshop each weekend, the cost is $2.50/hr for live collaboration. In addition members get access to on demand content and web space to post projects. 4)Build-It-Yourself projects are unusually engaging and creative. The Build-It-Yourself program focuses on the presentation of ideas as much as on the execution of ideas. Each project is presented on the Web.
