I'd love to approach Bill Gates, and rally for money for educational solutions. I'd think he'd be interested in hearing what we have to say, especially if we approach it from the educational plight of gifted kids in public education. It's a specific enough topic that he might actually be able to draw attention to it. He might also be in a position to able to invest money into a campaign that might be taken seriously.
Interesting thought, that ...
As for being "cool," I know all sorts of gifted kids, from very popular to well-liked to "alternative" to sporty to nerdy. Gifted kids run the whole gamit, just like ND kids. And quite honestly, I don't know how effective that sort of a campaign could be -- if you convince to teenagers (or any group) that something is cool, they're likely to run in the other direction just to spite you!
