The document is an application from an engineer seeking to join StartingBloc to find partners to help achieve their mission of saving the planet. They work with NASA and Raytheon developing satellite systems and teach students about STEM fields. They hope StartingBloc can help incubate green energy ideas, execute environmental plans, and create impact, as they cannot achieve their goals alone.

1. Q: Why ?

3. My Master Plan
As an engineer, you would expect that I’ve already mapped out a plan to
save the planet. Why of course I would! Here’s a peek:

4. I know this mission can be accomplished…
… and it starts with empowering our
current and future generations.

5. Current Progress
During the day, I work with the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and Raytheon to develop, deploy and maintain
the latest generation’s polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite
system to help monitor the health of the earth.

6. Current Progress
At night, I teach, mentor and inspire other students to pursue higher
education, particularly in the math and sciences, so that they too, can
become agents of positive change.

7. Where does StartingBloc fit in?
Right here!

8. My Hopes with StartingBloc
To find other great minds that will help me:
 incubate green energy ideas,
 execute environmental protection plans,
 create a big impact for our planet,
 and achieve personal growth.
I want to preserve the planet so that future
generations can enjoy the livelihood that
nature provides…

9. But I know that I cannot do this alone…
