Force for Change Challenge

BY PETER DIAMANDIS | 1 min read

Do you want to help change the world and be in a Star Wars movie? Who wouldn’t? J.J. Abrams is giving every Star Wars fan a chance to live the dream.

From the set of Star Wars Episode VII, Abrams has announced a new collective project called, Force for Change. With the help of Lucasfilm, Disney and Bad Robot, a new campaign has been created to raise money for the UNICEF Innovation Labs.

UNICEF Innovation Labs is an organization that is set up to help solve challenges facing children around the world. They tackle anything from creating and maintaining fresh water supplies, to ensuring education for all children. For more information, check out the website. It only costs $10 dollars to enter the draw, and you get a chance to help solve challenges that kids face every day; also you can be in the new Star Wars film. It’s a win-win situation.

Watch the awesome video Abrams made, and check out the amazing innovation project that is happening, to quote Princess Leia, “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
