America’s Amazing Teens™ (The AAT Project™ ) is a collaboration of the worlds of academia, science, finance, business, and media. We support exceptional young scientists, researchers, developers and inventors by providing a platform to share their ideas with the world. Our mission is to promote technological and scientific innovation, and change the cultural aspect of what science and math looks like by setting a new higher standard for teen role models. We will Manage and Mentor teens across America who will make a difference in the world.

The Competition: The AAT Project™ is an online competition that will Identify, Mentor and Manage exceptional teens whose ideas will change the world.

Targeting Insight: There are more than 30 million teens in the U.S. Nearly three out of four (72 percent) believe technological inventions or innovations can solve some of our most pressing issues within the next decade, including global warming, energy conservation, fossil fuel depletion, diagnosing, treating, and curing diseases, just to name a few. Nearly two-thirds of teens (64 percent) are confident they could invent some of these solutions.* Our competition is designed for teens 12 ½ -19.

Advisory Board:

Over 30 of the Top Universities in America represented. Best of Academia, Science, Finance and Media.

Total Investment: $10,000,000

Funding to Date: Self-funded Friends and Family

Current Round: Seed Round – Up to $5M

Type of Security: Convertible Note 5% interest 20% discount

How We’re Protecting Our Teens Ideas

• Providing a secure and exclusive private Portal, for the vetting and judging process.

• All the people vetting and judging for the competition will be required to sign an NDA before they are able to view any of the teens projects.

• We will apply for and purchase a provisional patent for all the teens projects that make it through the vetting process to protect their ideas. This will be done prior to any project being placed on to the public competition site.

• The IP practice at The AAT Project's global law firm will have a significant oversight role for preserving, protecting and proliferating the IP of each engaged teen.
