These Penn Semifinalists Could Win $50,000 From Dell With Your Help

Matt Capeletti (W’12) & Diana Kattan (W’12) are about to present students around the world with a way to get help with their studies ..for free.

But they need your help.

Per Matt and Diana,

“As high school students, we realized the struggle that many face in getting help and understanding material. The use of a tutor can be a very valuable resource but they are often very expensive and many therefore cannot afford one. We decided to create a solution to this social problem by creating TutorChatLive.org, an easily accessible FREE online tutoring resource where any student around the world can log on and receive free tutoring through our live chat software.”

Anyone can register and vote to support Matt and Diana’s idea HERE.

Matt explains that at present, they do not have tutors available on their site because they are working on updating it and securing necessary funding to properly launch the project. Their main focus now is spreading the word about supporting their project with the Dell Social Innovation Competition.

Regardless of winning, they plan on launching the site in September 2009.
