Artist Statement:
I’m Paul and I made a video about how I can change the world by respecting the earth. I want to change the world by composting. I also want to change the world by recycling. I also want to change the world by gardening, and planting seeds. Planting trees and seeds is good for the world. I have planted sunflower seeds, strawberry plants, and want to plant a garden!

Artist Statement:
I will change the world by reusing materials and making music for our community. I painted and decorated old and used tin cans, then
strung beads to strings and tied to an old hanger. After I created this wind chimes, I played with the cans; therefore created music.

My animation is about 1 person helping a crab that is stuck in trash. The crab at the end builds a new home and moves in.  My animation relates to the theme because you should help animals and pick up trash. I will change the world by doing my part to help the beaches in my community.

Artist Statement:
This stop motion animation (made with dry-erase markers and lots of erasing) reveals that lush carpets of grass may look beautiful, but the truth is not. Lawns require lots of and frequent watering, which doesn’t work well with the environment and causes tons of runoff. They also don’t help with cultivating a biologically diverse ecosystem. We can change the world by choosing to be water-wise and replace lawns with native, drought-tolerant plants that conserve water and make beautiful and colorful yards. Let’s be natively beautiful.

Artist Statement:
On Luciana's first day of school, her history teacher gives her an assignment... one that didn't quite make sense to her. The assignment was "How can you change the world?". As she and her friend were walking home that day they realized something...  they realized that no matter how young you are you can change the world with just one act of kindness.

Crosswalk Safety: One Crosswalk At A Time

by  Satyam Goyal

Artist Statement:
In 2020 over 6000 pedestrians died in traffic accidents across the nation. The issue of crosswalk safety is a problem that echoes around the world. Current solutions, such as beacons or traffic signals, are very expensive to implement. The experimental film documents a solution to combat this issue: an affordable, smart traffic sign; that alerts motorists when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. I implemented two signs at Ardenwood Elementary school. I plan to spread this initiative to across the world. My goal is to live in a world where no lives are lost to the perils of traffic safety.

Artist Statement:
I will change the world by helping others. Even asking if someone is OK can make a huge difference in their life. Being kind is super simple yet super important. We can all change the world by caring for each other.

Artist Statement:
My film is about global warming and pollution to our environment that affects the Earth. We could change the world step-by-step to be a better place as there's no planet B and there's only one Earth in the solar system.
