Activity 2

Winners Educational Philadelphia Trip - As part of the "We The People 9.17 Contest," fourteen contest winners and one parent/guardian received a trip to Philadelphia to participate in the September 17 Constituting America Performance and Awards Ceremony at the National Constitution Center (NCC). Their winning entries were placed on exhibition at the NCC, and the students starred in an educational documentary and music videos produced by Constituting America, highlighting their winning works! (This documentary was subsequently mailed out to over 4,500 schools and educators across America and made available on the internet for download, inspiring students by highlighting our winners who are "Today's Cultural Patriots, Tomorrow's Heroic Leaders")Winners Educational Philadelphia Trip - The two and a half day winners trip offered contest winners additional educational opportunities, as winners toured historic Philadelphia and participated in the National Constitution Center's Constitution Day Activities. Winners also dined with historical interpreters portraying George Washington, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, and enjoyed time for independent sightseeing as well as behind the scenes tours of the city's many historic sites. Promotional press during the tour included TV interviews with local Philadelphia TV, and radio and print press exposure thereby helping to fulfill Constituting America's mission of impacting the youth culture by providing positive role models of youth who care about the U.S. Constitution and share their love of America's founding principles in hip and culturally relevant ways.

Activity 3

Adult Academic Forum - To engage adults in a thoughtful and informative discussion on America's founding principles, Constituting America launched the "90 in 90" initiative, an online forum that challenges adults to join with others around the nation in reading and discussing founding documents over a 90 Day period. The program is augmented by a notable group of constitutional scholars from across the country who write daily essays on the day's assigned reading. In 2010 Constituting America conducted a 90 Day study of the 85 Federalist Papers. In 2011, Constituting America divided the U.S. Constitution into a 90 day study, breaking it down into 90 small sections. Adult Academic Forum - Citizens were encouraged to join the conversation with constitutional scholars by contributing their own blog posts, and discussing the day's assignment on Facebook (35,000 fans by the end of 2011 and currently 44,000 fans in 2012), Twitter and other social media. As a result of this initiative, thousands of citizens gained a deeper understanding of the Constitution's meaning, and its relevancy today through the essays, commentaries and analysis provided by the seasoned scholars and historians. The 90 Day Studies are archived and searchable on the Constituting America website and utilized as educational resources by teachers, middle school through college.
