PROJECTS
Political Science Projects.
Access to news and information
Free speech and limiting censorship are hot topics in the social media and news worlds. What responsibility does private industry have to the public? What regulation should exist?
Debates facilitation
Candidates talking over each other does not lead to a constructive debate. Even in the recent presidential debates, timers and mute buttons are now the norm. What technology helps facilitate productive debates?
Election security and turnout
Less than half of the US votes, despite technology making it easier than ever to participate. How can voter turnout be increased while still maintaining election security and integrity?
Hurricane planning
Hurricanes are inevitable. Strict building codes are already proactively saving thousands of lives every year, but many still are underprepared and die each year from flooding, food and water scarcity.
Political access
With technology and social media bridging the communication gap, then why is it so difficult to get in touch and meet with local, state and national lawmakers?
Retail theft
Petty theft decriminalization has caused an increase in retail theft calling for solutions to ensure small businesses are not the ones bearing the brunt.

The Minteer BROTHERS
Our Story
Founders, Nick and Chris Minteer have trained at some of the top Universities in the world and started one of the fastest growing companies in the United States, generating over $10M with no investors, all while they were still in school. They took an idea that started in their parents garage to a global powerhouse. The Minteer Academy is based on the principals the Minteer brothers learned working together and with their team. Nick, the business mind, trained at University College London, and Chris, the product mind, a PhD Scientist, trained at University of Cambridge and Yale University. The Academy takes the same perspectives which made Nick and Chris so effective as co-founders and applies it in a real-world course, where ambitious teens have the opportunity to take on big problems through either an entrepreneurial or research lens.
