Location: Blue Hill Club
More than 50 youth, ages 12 to 18, will work in inter-neighborhood teams with adult mentors, using professional software and hardware to create high-tech products that connect to this year's CyberSummit theme: “TechExec.” In just two days, they will be challenged to create video games, animation, robotics and other computer-generated products. On Friday afternoon, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., CyberSummit will conclude with CyberFair, a technology exhibition that provides participants with an opportunity to showcase and “market” their “products.”
CyberSummit provides a positive, productive activity for youth during school vacation week, and ensures that teens from backgrounds learn the skills necessary to survive in an increasingly technological world.
