Speak Out was born out of a partnership between PBS KIDS Interactive and the National Black Programming Consortium's New Media Institute.

Speak Out's goals were:

  • To introduce social engagement to 8 to 12 year olds (the PBS KIDS GO! target audience).
  • To work with producers of traditional content (TV, Print) and introduce them to producing content for the Web.

By focusing on political topics that were relevant to the audience, we created an activity that they could easily understand and interact with. As a bonus, the new content producers could grasp the simple level of interactivity and immediately see the results of user engagement.
