| Description | Adult Academic Forum - To engage adults in a thoughtful and informative discussion on America's founding principles, Constituting America launched the "90 in 90" initiative, an online forum that challenges adults to join with others around the nation in reading and discussing founding documents over a 90 Day period. The program is augmented by a notable group of constitutional scholars from across the country who write daily essays on the day's assigned reading. In 2010 Constituting America conducted a 90 Day study of the 85 Federalist Papers. In 2011, Constituting America divided the U.S. Constitution into a 90 day study, breaking it down into 90 small sections. Adult Academic Forum - Citizens were encouraged to join the conversation with constitutional scholars by contributing their own blog posts, and discussing the day's assignment on Facebook (35,000 fans by the end of 2011 and 44,000 fans in 2012), Twitter and other social media. As a result of this initiative, thousands of citizens gained a deeper understanding of the Constitution's meaning, and its relevancy today through the essays, commentaries and analysis provided by the seasoned scholars and historians. The 90 Day Studies are archived and searchable on the Constituting America website and utilized as educational resources by teachers, middle school through college. | Description |
