Simon Cowell and Will.i.am are working on a new competition show that will try to find the next Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs.
The two celebrities are allegedly working on the show after a secret dinner in Los Angeles last month, according to The Sun (U.K.).
Will.i.am, a member of the band Black-Eyed Peas and a judge on the British version of "The Voice," told reporters, "Weβre working on a project called 'X Factor for Tech' β and itβs going to be out of this world. ... Singing and performance create a couple of jobs. But this will create lots."
Will.i.am, who has given time and money to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in his native Los Angeles, said he sees the new program as a way to inspire young people.
