PROJECT LITERACY

MIGHTY PENCIL MACHINE

​

We created a machine that turns tweets supporting illiterate people learning to read and write into something useful: Real pencils they can use to learn.

​

We created a pencil-making machine and set it up in a New York Gallery space. We invited people to tweet to us. Every tweet became a pencil which was put to use. We generated millions of twitter impressions and lots and lots of pencils.
