About the project:
A PSA (public service announcement) lets the public know something very important about an issue. These issues often affect many members in a community, like ending poverty or providing universal access to clean water. One way to make people pay attention is to make your PSA interactive!
Your task:
Build a PSA to inform the public about something you find important, like global warming, voting in an election, or maybe something more local, like remembering to recycle at your school!
