What can students benefit from this project?
The project is essentially a creativity and leadership training for students, since they need to come up with their own topics and collabratively create free digital contents called "VideoBooks" that require writing, illustration, dubbing and video editing skills. Students who act as team lead will have a chance to practice project management, product management, and people management, which are critial to success in their future careers.
In addition, by working on this project, students can
1. Get mentoring on writing, illustration, design and video editing
2. Establish portfolio for school and job applications
3. Build their own team and branch
4. Get recommendation letters
5. Attend "Youth Leadership Training Program" developed by Be The Change Foundation
6. Win Be The Change Foundation Scholarship
7. Win Presidential Volunteer Service Awards
