Oh yeah. Venture fund is putting real money into this so that those students can put a line of their college app?

The CEO of this company was in WaPo 2 years ago, in a profile of a college admissions counselor who helps kids like him create "research" for college apps.

How much money?

1517 fund gives out $1K. I have more than that in my wallet.

Actually it's over $50K.

These are very smart kids, bit their product isn't real and useful. This is a very good school project. There's nothing new here. It's just new to them. They'll either get jobs at a real company or wash out as frauda like Elizabeth Holmes.

you're comparing your measly pocket change with kids' academic effort? Seems like your brain never made it past preschool

It’s too bad the article didn’t hide their picture, names and school name. DCUM would be falling all over them if they weren’t Asian.

the unspoken truth

You sound ignorant, and cringy with big eye roll.

Dell, facebook, wordpress, mashable, oculus, and a ton more were all started by teenagers.

None of those required fabricating novel computer chips.

do you even have a clue what this company is set out to do?

I was the one rolling my eyes. It is something else they are fabricating...

I get it, I was doing optical computing in 1990's back in grad school. Our grant application to DARPA all sound like these. No way a couple of TJ students can do this without some adult direction, and the adult is writing a great grant application, this time to VC and whatnot.

STEM students teams are always guided by a coach/mentor, in this case it is possible one of more of their parents played that role. The proposal writer that you played can be hired for an hourly wage, even off of craigslist. When VC is evaluating a proposal or business idea, they care the least about who the proposal writer is, even it is the parent or another adult hired for hourly wage. They evaluate the viability of the idea and its design implementation, and in this case that is what came from the student team. You are crazy if you think VC fund that's backing this venture is doing it without evaluating the smarts of the students behind this company.

They need to do this for their shot at Stanford.
