PBS KIDS GO! Launches Speak Out

Speak Out, a PBS KIDS GO! Web site showcasing kids' ideas for President-elect Obama, is now live.

The project is a co-production of New Media Institute and PBS KIDS GO!. Engage tracked the project through the design and production phases. 

The site includes videos from kids expressing their concerns about the environment, education and health issues, and invites site visitors to add their own ideas and vote on those already submitted. 

Heather, age 8, says that to make the education system better,  "I would like it if every student could have a laptop."  Cole, age 9 suggests "I would make cars sun powered" in order to take care of the earth. 

The production team looks forward to watching the site grow with kid-generated content. 

Check it out and share your ideas for the next President with us in the comments section below.
