We are blessed to partner with the Andretti family to use motorsports as the "Shiny" (if you will) and have created the ANDRETTI FASTTRACK Experience to jump start the conversation and get kids thinking - "STEAM is pretty cool and all around us... I want to learn more."

NamePlace is a revolutionary way for
advertisers to engage with families on a neighborhood level. NamePlace
organizes and showcases local sponsorships and naming rights opportunities
on a global platform, each of which can be mixed and match to aggregate
audiences. The platform bridges corporations and cities, and the neighborhoods
they represent, bringing each constituent together for mutual benefit.
The handshake; Cities have neighborhood venues like soccer fields, parks,
walking trails and swim clubs, each with individual promotional options.
They also hold events, as do private or non-profit organizations, again
with promotional options. Local businesses are interested in supporting
their communities and letting people know about their services. But
so are very large corporations, who need scale to justify their effort.
With NamePlace, you can engage with one, or one hundred, venues.
