Shannon researched Boston Public School students taking Civic Action around different social issues. Guided by the problem statement: “How might we help BPS students feel empowered to have an impact on social issues they are passionate about?” and inspired by the overwhelming amount of social media use around social issues, Shannon envisioned a platform that would be similar to a social media site but filtered around civic action. The platform aims to bring together students working on civic projects in order to make a larger impact.
