The Problem

This unique projects aims to raise awareness about the dangers of reckless driving to a large group of local teenagers. It would take place in at least five high schools in the Portland-Beaverton area. These schools totaling at about 11,045 students. If resources allow, I would love to expand this project to schools in other districts.

Plan of Action

Then I want to broadcast a short video segment over the school TV circuit during the homeroom period. The video will briefly discuss the issue of reckless driving, the goal of Keep the Drive, and present ways for teens to get involved with the movement. Then the video will announce a contest: a certain number of students who correctly answer a smart driving trivia question and submits their answer and name into a raffle will win a free T-shirt. At the end of the week, the names of the students will be drawn at hopefully, a school assembly. I believe that this is an extremely engaging project that will not only grab the attention of thousands of teenagers, but will make a lasting impression on teenage attitudes about driving.
