Celebrate New Jersey! Who said New Jersey wasn’t cool?

Celebrate New Jersey!

Last year, my sister and I helped out an organization (Celebrate New Jersey) that was hosting a competition for students to raise awareness about the Garden State.

Students from different areas submitted essays describing a key aspect of New Jersey, or a key individual in New Jersey history. Now—to the fun part! We mapped the aspect or individual the student  wrote about as a single point in the map of New Jersey. Each point contained the photos of each student along with their essay. After mapping dozens of students’ works for hours, the final product was an organized, interactive showcase of all the applicants’ works which could be viewed by friends, families and other students!
