If you live in Massachusetts and are concerned about the education system you should visit Standforchildren.org . It’s not very often I work with non-profit organizations however this was a really neat project to be involved with. Stand For Children wanted to get the message across to legislators in Massachusetts and across the US that childrens’ needs and rights regarding public education need to be heard.
The team at Stand For Children wanted people to actively create, post and share virtual signs about their stand for the public education system. Brian from the The ID Corp came up with a great concept and using some Flash and PHP magic I was able to execute it.
Living in Canada it’s an entirely different situation with public education. I was shocked to find out just how different (and not for the better) the US public education system is. Stand for Children has a great team and I hope this campaign and more like it will help pave the way for a more promising future for America’s youth.
So go ahead. Take a stand.
Derrick, such a nice post, thank you! It was great working with you – very strong work and in a very short time frame.
