A Poem From Us
<p><a href="http://apoemfromus.com/" target="_blank">A Poem From Us</a> is a website featuring regular people, reading their favorite poems. The project's goal is a simple one: use technology to help folks share their love of poetry with others.</p>
<p>The project can be viewed here: <a href="http://apoemfromus.com/" target="_blank">http://apoemfromus.com/</a></p>
<p>People can participate in one of two ways:</p>
<p><strong>Online</strong>, they can record themselves and submit the video to the website.</p>
<p><strong>Offline</strong>, they can request a set of free stickers which feature the project logo and a custom QR code. When these stickers are scanned by passers-by, a random video from the project website will play on the user's mobile device. Think of it as a kind of a "found poem" for the digital age.</p>
<p>This project was realized through a generous grant from the <a href="http://www.awesomechicago.org/" target="_blank">Chicago Awesome Foundation</a> (an organization that gives micro-grants of $1,000 each month, to projects they deem awesome).</p>
