Description
This Challenge asks a very straightforward question: Who is American Today? (and if you are participating from another country, then replace ‘American’ with our nationality ). This asks student teams to investigate, in both micro and macro terms, the intersection of our current cultural and national identity. This is both a personal investigation and a research study that attempts to look at national identity through a large and sweeping lens.
The digital story to be told here begins with a documentary approach that will showcase how you and your team might answer this question, as combined with interviews that you conduct with members of your community. This then leads to the creation or design of an American portrait – a piece of art that in some way reflects what you have learned and concluded.
