The "We Dare You!" Video Project by Vicki Cobb (STEM and NGSS aligned)

by Authors on Call, iNK Think Tank

The first session is for Vicki to kickoff the project to the kids. Kids will have the opportunity to see videos and order the book at a 50% discount from the publisher.

Once the project is initiated, you will have several weeks to become familiar with the book WE DARE YOU! and have the kids select tricks to videotape.

The second conference, Vicki actually directs a taping remotely! She will edit that tape. If some people are interested in editing other videos, that’s fine. Otherwise, unedited tapes will be sent to Vicki for her to edit. Throughout the project, she will answer email questions.

The final session will be a discussion of what the kids learned from this project.
