The My Hero Project is a U.S. based nonprofit organization that promotes the use of new media and technology to "celebrate the best of humanity and empowers young people to realize their own potential to effect positive change in the world". The My Hero Project is a freely available digital media library and set of online resources to help people make and share hero-themed essays, images, web pages, audio clips and films with a global audience.
The Teacher’s Room provides tools for educators to utilize in bringing the study of heroes into the classroom. The project both complements existing curricula and provides independent instruction to encourage, train and equip students around the world to creatively express their visions of heroes. Through guided activities, participants develop strong video, media production and digital story telling skills. MY HERO curricula advance communication skills and critical thinking. Participants can also choose to join the International Education and Resource Network, a network of connected classrooms that enables prompted collaboration between classes.
