The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) to Wnet, a nonprofit media organization, to develop "Mission US: Isla Preciosa", a digital learning game about the U.S. invasion of Puerto Rico in 1898 and its aftermath. The game is centered on the experiences and perspectives of diverse Puerto Ricans, and aims to develop young people's knowledge of the causes and effects of U.S. overseas expansionism. The project will create an interactive narrative where players encounter key events, historical figures, and multiple viewpoints to explore how the shift from Spanish to American governance affected the lives of Puerto Ricans at the turn of the 20th century, as well as the role Puerto Ricans, including young people, played in those transitions. The grant period runs from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028.
