For this final submission you will create a public services announcement (PSA). Your PSA will be a short but powerful message that will tell the receiver why we need to use creative thinking to solve a problem in society today. Make sure the receiver understands why a creative approach (creative problem solving, design thinking, etc.) is the only or best way to solve this problem. You must support your rationale with three facts and/or examples. 

How you create your PSA is completely up to you. Recommended tools and length are provided below. If, at the end of the PSA, the receivers understand the value of creativity you have done your job.

Your PSA can be a video uploaded to YouTube, a Pow Toon animated video, an interactive PowerPoint, a song, or something else. It’s your choice, but be sure to let your creativity shine through. Upload your PSA to this assignment space.
