Thinking of a project but not sure how to go about it?
Answered

Update: I’m creating a website where like every other week, I’ll have a highlighted POC youth that has done something really cool in STEAM. there’ll be a short article about them and I’ll add an original art / animated gif of them and the thing they do. there might be a special feature thing that I’d post every once in awhile on YouTube based on the months theme (like pride month, Asian history month, etc) just to add some more content

I’m not really sure about the technicalities and whatnot so I’ll probably need a co-creator and someone who’s good with animation ^-^ im taking a qualitative vs quantitative class with EDx rn so I can make a good survey for interviewsss

Thank you all for the suggestions !!

Yes, this is a great idea! It's always cool to colleges to show that you care about world issues. For example, I'm a sophomore who's currently working on their spike and I'm the VP of a non-profit that focuses on mental health education, along with leading webinars that have <100 participants! Working on this sounds really cool, and if you ever need my help I'd be glad you join you! To give you some more ideas to add to this, you could do something like "POC in stem", or you could start an art or journalism magazine at your school that focuses on POC. I think you have some really cool ideas, and starting a YT channel would be really cool to colleges! Good luck!!!

How did you start your non profit if you don’t mind me asking :)

@julieloolie2 years ago

Yeah ofc!! For the one I'm VP on, I'm Currently I'm VP of The Daily Dose Of Everything, where I manage media outreach and coordination between the teams, I found it through @internshipgirl on TikTok! I'm going to be starting a new organization that focuses on equal opportunity for all in the Arts, and I'm doing that by starting a social media account and reaching out to other youth lead accounts, going through your school and starting a club, fundraising, etc!

@julieloolie2 years ago

It doesn't have to be a global thing, I'm just trying to help out my immediate community right now. Make connections, ask for help, and reach out to accounts on social media that are in your field, and ask to collab or something! Most people will totally be willing. Even making social media posts or starting a small club that fundraises at your school can make a big difference!!! Good luck, if you need anything else ask away :D

Hi !! I’m starting my project rn and was wondering if you or someone else you know would like to co-create it :) you’d get co-founder position and would help me run the website and pick people to highlight.

Sounds like a great idea to me! I hope you can interview some interview some interesting people and write up some interesting columns about them and/or produce some video interviews. A website with an associated Youtube channel sounds like the best and most impressive route here to me. You could maybe even organize some online events (like virtual lectures and discussions led or facilitated by some of the people you're hoping to showcase). Good luck!
