EDU-01: FUBU ART EXHIBIT
Our art exhibit presents many examples of how times are continuously changing and unyielding when it comes
to the people of color in our neighboring communities.
Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values, and translating experiences across space and time. The reason why we’re here is that everyone can learn more about other cultures through the lens of fine and contemporary art in workshops and activities.
Mission: The FUBU Art Exhibit will reinforce the cultural unity of people of color by welcoming all people to explore and experience art, creativity, in our shared community. It includes educating and engaging the public on local, regional, and global social issues through the visual arts.
Similarities: Annual Diversity Art Exhibit and The Museum of Contemporary Art.
Differentiators: Unlike the examples
mentioned, our art exhibit will be a place that will have no entry fee so that we can depend on government assistance for other costs.

PR-03: FUBU BUS POOL
We seek to report bus location data to ensure easy and safe transportation for everyday high school students.
Our bus tracker helps high schoolers track down their bus faster whether through corporate or local transportation. The problem is that every time a parent calls the bus
operator, either the operator isn’t there or is too busy to reach the call.
Mission: The FUBU Bus Pool reinforces our mission to empower people of color by delivering students safely to their destinations on time. That way there can be safe and
efficient transportation that meets
all of the requirements of the daily instructional programs and
extra-curricular activities.
