Anastasoff had the idea to create a "domestic peace corps" that could transition scientists, chemists, engineers, and mathematicians into teaching positions at low-income schools. After recruiting these STEM Professionals, EnCorps integrates them into a training teaching program where they first become tutors, then guest teachers, then substitutes, before becoming full-time teachers. http://bigideasfest.org License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA
