Happy (allllmost) Halloween, y’all! You might notice my new photo here and nope, it’s not a costume -- just realized it hasn’t been updated in like 93474378 years, so I figure you should know what I *actually* look like.
Though if you are looking for a costume pic, here’s me last year with my coworkers Caroline and Gleb (we went as Death of a Salesman), and here I am dressed as Batman in preschool...not on Halloween, just on school picture day.
Aaaaanyway, read our very special Halloween-themed edition of WYD and see why BooSomething members like you are so amazing, it’s scary.
Let’s Boo This!

DoSomething Members Don’t Just Dress as Superheroes -- They Create Them
We’ll definitely see lots of Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men and, for you anti-heroes, Joker costumes this Halloween. Meanwhile, DoSomething members are creating their own original STEM Superheroes to (super)empower younger students to make real-world impact.
Check out a few of our favorites below -- and a bunch more incredible artwork from the DoSomething community here!
X-Multi5 by DoSomething member Anh Quan, 18
Forge by DoSomething member Madison, 17
Antidote by DoSomething member Jared, 18
Join our STEM Superheroes campaign! Learn how to create your own superhero, and how to use artwork to inspire younger students like DoSomething members Marina, Audrey, and Jerome (who dressed like Spider-Man!!!) did.

Woahhh, Shelby! This DoSomething member turned her horse into a superhero to start the conversation about rescue animals. In the off chance you don’t have a horse, make your pup into a Super Shelter Pet this Halloween to encourage neighbors to adopt from shelters.

In case you have friends who are wondering... why it’s not ok to wear blackface on Halloween (or ever), send them our article. (DoSomething member Kanglim said it best with this #NoBlackface selfie.)

More Amazing Impact From the DoSomething Community
Last week, we asked you to brag about amazing stuff you’re doing, and you did not disappoint. Here are some of our favorite answers from the DoSomething community. (And submit yours here!)
“My classmates and I organized a meeting with our superintendent to discuss the lack of internet access in minority communities like ours. This acted as a barrier to our success, but now, as a result of our efforts, DOCS is giving all students access to computers and wifi. I think it'd be really cool to share this with other kids to show them what they are capable of and that school officials really do listen.”
- Brandon, Florida
“My 3D-printed skeleton got featured on Instructables social media accounts.”
- Beth, 16, Ohio
“I was working in the recent days as a volunteer in teaching deaf people of my church.”
- Naomie, 18, Congo
