Millions of students are displaced from their schools & colleges because of crisis & war. It may be a natural calamity or a man made disaster including terrorism.
However that is not the end of the road for them, the sun will rise and shine again after the darkness. During the period they are away from school or college due to crisis my idea proposes for a platform called "http://Givemechallenge.com" which enables to connect talented people with solution to simple & complex problems with companies & experts who can help bring these ideas into reality working virtually resarching from the comfort of their homes with just a computer/smartphone & internet connection.
The problems or challenges will be real world problems, the challenge is to find the break through innvation to solve it. Once they solve these problems the students are rewarded with grants & scholarships. In some cases also employment opportunities after graduation.
This will also ensure that the youth of today are equipped with the right skills to solve the problems of the present generation. It will also give them a lot of learning experience & skills that schools & colleges fail to give which is the reason for unemployment.
