Nick’s Big Green Thing 2009 (Nickelodeon)
Role: Producer for Nickelodeon | Visit the Site
In Summer of 2009 I worked alongside Creative Control to produce Nick’s Big Green Thing – Nickelodeon’s flagship environmental campaign website. This year’s focus was on the Plastiki – a cutting-edge boat made of plastic bottles which is to sail across the Atlantic as part of an environmental campaign. Users can get live updates direct from the boat, find out about the crew and learn about the interesting places they’ll be visiting along the way.
Another feature is the “Make your Mark” area which allows young people to create their own digital image from recycled junk, and submit it to the Gallery – as images come in they combine to create an collaborative tiled mosaic style image of the Plastiki.
And finally, the Make It and Play It areas give kids lots of online games to play, and “green” things they can make at home. Ever fancied making a wormery? We’ll show you how!
This whole project is about getting young people thinking about the environment in a light-touch and fun way.
