Great idea. There are a lot of smart people with ideas that never get a chance to shine.

I did this with my tech class last year.

Cool!
I looked into that site a while ago.

Will there be a focus of the type of efforts the loans will be applied to? i.e. Tech related? or any specific part of the developing world?

As it stands right now - it will be a wide variety of initiatives. However - if we see a larger tech project, we will most definitely be all over it

So far we are at $450 in loans: http://www.kiva.org/lender/overclock

You can give along with us on Team Overclock: http://www.kiva.org/team/overclock
