Topic: Energy, Economy and Youth

As part of the Heating Up Open Call and in recognition of Earth Hour The WGBH Lab and the MIT Energy Club are hosting a live webinar from the MIT museum. The topic is “Energy, Economy and Youth.” Members of the MIT Energy Club will discuss their exciting research and answer questions from youth.

A little more about the open call "Heating Up"

The open call “Heating Up" is inspired by Frontline's documentary “Heat”. Earlier this year, the WGBH Lab and Teachers' Domain issued an open call for youth media makers to create video shorts about climate change. It is WGBH Lab's first-ever Lab Open Call dedicated solely to youth media makers. The Call is accompanied by online tutorials, or “webinars,” covering topics such as video production using open content, copyright issues, and pitch development. While the submission period is now over, Lab personnel and the online community must now take on the task of selecting eight ideas for $2000 in production funding. Be sure to follow the process and vote for your favorites at http://lab.wgbh.org/heatingup.
