Billion Dollar Challenge (75 points)

Lots of billion dollars floating around right now. Warren Buffet offering a billion for a perfect NCAA bracket, U.S. government dropping billions like they're pennies, and H&R Block claiming U.S. taxpayers are leaving a cumulative billion on the table from not filing taxes professionally. Maybe a silly claim (and obviously a business promotion), but for fun they are offering for the best depiction of what one could do with a billion dollars several thousand dollars in cash for the classroom. Friday March 14th is the deadline, so let's give it a shot! Your explanation of what a billion dollars could do/get needs to imaginative, articulated with clarity, and mathematically correct. In other words, your example will be verified that it actually does equal one billion dollars (rounded of course), so be as precise as possible.
The entry you create needs to be digital, so use technology as best you can (iPad or laptop or off to a computer lab with ya) and email me the result. I'll then enter it.
*edit*
You can still do this for 50 points, even though the submission deadline has passed. All the rules above still apply, and I'd like to include that the project should be school-appropriate. thank you.
