Description
I developed the Getting Engaged Capstone Project in partnership with the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum (SAAACAM) and their new Museum. The primary purpose of this project is to provide the “Unity in Action,” room, the first exhibit in the final hall of the SAAACAM Museum, with materials to support its cause. This project is dedicated to doing virtually what the “Unity in Action” room is trying to do in person – to send the audience out into the world with a tangible project they can participate in that will help create positive change in the community around them, this can take many forms, one of these forms is a quiz that is discussed here. This project has collected data on different activist groups including their history and the accomplishments they have had in San Antonio, throughout Texas and beyond. This project takes the collected data and imports it into a code program, allowing it to be formatted as a quiz to promote public engagement and general awareness. The quiz and code will be presented to SAAACAM at the end of this project.
