| Project Ideas should be big and result in a finished, spectacular product.
| You and/or your team should be able to tell us exactly how a group of adults would execute the kind of idea you propose. Our expertise is “translating” Project Ideas into the Beam context, but you must be the expert in the field(s) involved in executing your proposal.
