through organizations like the california academy of sciences, having a platform of kqed public radio to put that information out there, to have a platform to display the works created. we took advantage of it. it is a planning grant. obviously, not all of the solutions are identified. we have 18 months to test out different programs, and test out this huge network of organizations and how they can solidify something like the hive learning network in chicago, supported by ongoing funding, incorporating not just a small group, but hundreds of partners throughout the city like this. which is one of our collaborators on the grant. we have 18 months to work it out. outcomes include the pilot projects, learning network, and the main library conceptual design, as well as online platforms that can be shared across san francisco and other cities working on similar projects. supervisor chu: i know that this is still in the planning stage, but on in terms of feedback, if we could do direct outreach to neighborhoods serving youth and organizations that may use the california academy of sciences

[bell rings] and it continues to this day. the latest example being yester day -- yesterday. i e-mailed a scientist, a friend, a biotech inventor about pursuing perhaps ucsf as a poten
