KQED Youth Media Challenge: Let’s Talk About Election 2020

The KQED Youth Media Challenge: Let’s Talk About Election 2020 gives middle and high school students an opportunity to put their persuasive skills to work in front of a real audience. Each student will:

  • Choose an election-related issue that matters to them
  • Write an evidence-based commentary on the issue
  • Share their personal experience and authentic voice
  • Create their audio or video commentary
  • Publish their audio or video commentary on the Election 2020 challenge showcase page (launching in January 2020)
  • Practice critical 21st-century skills aligned with Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and Civically Engaged Writing Analysis Continuum (CEWAC) Standards

The Election 2020 showcase opens January-November 2020 and will be hosted on KQED Learn. Students will be able to publish their video and audio commentaries to the showcase where they will be seen by the public. Select pieces will be featured on PBS and NPR member stations.
