Hey Public Laboratory folks,
I’m writing to ask your help – I used to work with Jeff and Leo Burd at the Media Lab, but now work with the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network based at the Museum of Science in Boston. Every two years we host an international Teen Summit, where 300 teens from the US and 20 countries come to Boston for a week of creative arts and collaboration...they focus on DIY engineering, video making, film making, music production, graphic design and most importantly, having FUN by exploring their interests in technology and community.
On Thursday July 12, from 6:30 – 9:30pm we will host a College and Career Fair at the Museum of Science, Boston to showcase various career paths that their interests can lead to if they pursue their dreams and focus on education. I was wondering you as an individual or your organization could attend this Fair to talk about career paths in your field. It’s a very informal setting. We’ll have over 70 presenters at tables and our young people will mill around from one table to the next. You can set up a laptop or have other materials at your table and chat as people approach.
If you or anyone from your organization could come, we would love it! We’ll provide free parking, free dinner and an amazing group of youth from around the world! If you’re not able to attend, I’d appreciate a connection to any other folks you think might be interested in participating.
If you have more time and/or interest, there are some other ways to volunteer at Teen Summit, including leading a 2 hour workshop on something youth leadership related or mentoring in one of the dozen collaborative group tracks, where the youth will work in teams to learn a new technology and respond to a challenge around designing for a better future. Find out more on this flyer.
Thanks in advance for your help!

PS If you didn’t already know, the Computer Clubhouse is a safe and creative after-school learning environment where under-served youth explore their interests through the use of technology. Clubhouse Members write and record music, make movies, build robots, develop web sites, illustrate comic books and create digital artwork. The Computer Clubhouse Network, my home-base, is based at the Museum of Science, Boston, supports over 100 community-based Clubhouses around the world, providing thousands of youth with access to resources and experiences to help them succeed and contribute to their communities.
