Speak Out! with Speakers!
Posted in Work » Day Job on November 11, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Speak Out, a civic engagement project made as a collaboration between PBS KIDS (Nina, Gergs, Scoots and I were the internal team), National Black Programming Consortium, and the New Media Institute launched today.
The whole idea behind the project is that kids can submit ideas on how to improve 3 topics : Environment, Health, and Schools, and then other kids can vote on those ideas. At the end of the day (and by day I mean term of the project), the top ideas are sent off to President Obama as a letter. The letter part I'm a bit fuzzy on, just cause that's part of the larger group conversation. I was more of a strict designer/front end developer on this one.
Speaking of which: I designed, illustrated and built the Flash front end (Actionscript 3, oh dip) in the span of about 3 weeks from conception to innovation. Our usual development time is 12 weeks.
