Smart, fun and engaging resources and activities

 

2012 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Charlotte's K-12 students to learn about and experience civics, government, leadership and more.   

 

GenerationNation's k12in2012 website connects K-12 students with Election 2012 and civics in action through smart, fun and engaging educational (and nonpartisan) resources and activities. Includes: 

  • Educational tools, curriculum and activities
  • News and kid-friendly activities related to the conventions and Election 2012
  • Opportunities for students to put civics into action by communicating with officials, casting votes in the Kids Voting mock election (NC primary and general election), sharing their photos and videos throughout the year, and more!

News, updates, activities and educational resources will continue through Inauguration Day (January 2013).
