Tapping the Power of Tech
“Even if people are still very young, they shouldn’t be prevented from saying what they think.” —Anne Frank
Technology is all around us, but did you know that activists—especially young activists—use technology every single day to fight for causes they believe in? Today, you'll learn how young people are tapping their tech skills to raise thousands of dollars, why certain #hashtags are more effective than others, and how holograms (yes, holograms) can help real people fight for their rights. Digital activism requires technology but also a whole lot of creativity, love, effort, and belief in a cause. Do you have what it takes to make a good cause go viral?
what you’ll need
- Your Camp Kinda toolkit
- Props of your choice

Now it's time to share your message with the world through a Public Service Announcement (also known as a PSA). A PSA is like an ad for a good cause. Making a video that explains your cause is a great way to motivate others to act.
