Seatbelts

Sure, it takes one and a half seconds to use. But think about the millions of seconds you add to your life after a crash.
You can spare the time. Buckle Up.

The Great Hero Hunt has begun!

Calling all potential heroes; we need your super powers of writing, juggling, flying, and artistic expression. Not quite a super hero at the flying? That's okay. We are looking for college students willing to step into hero-sized boots and create audio, video, and speeding bullet dialogue for the Ten Cent Hero Project. Read on!

 

Ten Cent Hero Story

Ten cents may not buy much anymore, but the choice is there to take what we have, and what we know, and save the day. The challenge is not just to survive, but thrive!

Fall 2009: Drive-Ride Project

Students around the state are facing many of the same challenges. With so many demands it's easy to forget some of the fundamental decisions that can make or break your high school experience.

People in Iowa spend a lot of time in their cars. And people do a lot of crazy things while driving and riding.

The Drive-Ride Project is about sharing information in the hope of changing driving and riding behavior so we all can get to our destinations safely.

Put together a media team and involve your friends and classmates in a digital storytelling project that will generate interest and discussion.
