This is a great endeavor and I'm eager to see what kind of results will come out of it.

There may be people who aren't students and want to tackle an item or two on the list. What's the stance on that? Or is it just limited to students?

It's just limited to students, this program. Spread the word, and get as many involved as possible.

He asked about senior citizens.  :P People got slapped for Googling when I was in high school.

What a great first day we had, 41 tasks were claimed! These are some Highly Amazing students!
