These videos were developed by 6th to 12th grade students as part of a contest sponsored by community organizations in Northern Michigan.

The contest asked students to first read the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement on Children, Adolescents, and the Media (2013) OR the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement on Children, Adolescents, Substance Abuse, and the Media (2010) and at least one science research article related to the topic.

Students used what they had learned to create 60 second educational videos about the health effects of excessive media, exposure to violent media, and the importance of having a media budget. These videos have been used to educate students, families, and community members. Please enjoy!
