| Student Music Video Project |
|
| Shows That Teach works with schools to produce an all-original music video related to conservation, starring the students! With the help of sponsors including water, power, or sanitation agencies, and local municipalities, the goal of this project is to educate families on relevant environmental topics.
In addition to integrating music educational standards, this audio-visual student project can be distributed on the Web and throughout local communities.
