The assignment: Emphasizing the seriousness of climate change and educating a divided America
A Pew Research study conducted this year found that almost half— 46%— of Americans do not deem climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being. With the effects of climate change becoming more and more visible to Americans, it is as vital as ever to educate climate change deniers, as well as believers who may not know what to do to combat the effects of climate change. Your task is to develop a campaign that highlights the seriousness of climate change targeted at people who believe it, and those who deny it, with an emphasis on educating both sides.
What strategies should this campaign implement to reach both climate change believers and deniers
How does your campaign highlight the seriousness of climate change in a way that resonates with this divided audience
What should your campaign do to cut through the partisan divide of this issue
How does your campaign promote engagement with this issue
How do you promote educating your audience about how they can personally play a role in helping combat climate change and other threats to the planet
We highly encourage entrants to incorporate AI into their campaign planning and execution. And as part of your entry, you will be asked to explain your use of AI in executing your campaign: how it helped inform your campaign, how it betters your campaign, etc.
Once again: The use of AI as support for the entry is highly encouraged and will be considered strongly by judges, including the creativity you demonstrate with your use of AI. Exactly how you use AI is up to you - and judges will certainly note that specific part of the entry when pondering scores. Arbiters will also pay specific attention to research you’ve done and how it informs your initiative. The creation of digital content to support the entry is highly encouraged and will be considered strongly by judges.
