| Abstract | Given the low turnout among younger voters, it is important to seek innovative ways of engaging students in the electoral process, and a presidential year like this one offers exciting opportunities for doing so. In this article, the author describes her experiences with a schoolwide project designed by herself and colleagues that simulates the election campaigns by having students run as the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of each party. The project engages several school departments as well as social studies: English (which provides a press corps and media coverage), math (which conducts surveys and tallies results), science (which identifies candidates' policies on the environment), and foreign languages (for a review of candidates' policies toward countries associated with a designated language).
