Green Screen Adventures is an educational program with the goal of promoting literacy – child by child, school by school, incorporating as many children as possible. Students in second through eighth grade are inspired to think of themselves as writers and illustrators when their stories are adapted on Green Screen Adventures. Students get the message that their words have power and that their voices are being heard.
