PSSA Aids Project

This week I am going to talk about a project that I am a part of and very excited about! With the help of New Media, students from the University are going to fly to Philadelphia to help promote Aids awareness. Student teams will be equipped with mobile video and wireless technology and will roam the streets for video footage. We will each follow around fellow aids patients and see how they live their daily lives. Each team will have a remote producer who could be anywhere in the world, and the producer will have one day to complete the Public Service Announcement with the footage that each team member captures.

I think this is a great project that really highlights how New Media can help invent new ways of producing messages that encourage young people to get tested for HIV.
