Encargados del Futuro

October 29-31 2008, 41 youth from all over the country participated in the 2^nd annual IT youth conference “Encargados del Futuro” (encargado = the person in charge). Four youth from my computer club joined the gang for 3 days and 2 nights of games, workshops, presentations and very little sleep.

We had a digital scavenger hunt, a day in the lab learning about robots, practice with PhotoShop and other advanced programs, a Skype call to a Disney programmer, a talent show and guest speakers.

Each community was required to present a video using the program MovieMaker and our club won 3^rd prize for artisticness, technical ability, information presented, and creativity. Go CIA! (club de informática avanzada)

Thanks to a team of 20 plus volunteers, these three days were a huge success and definitely one of the highlights from my time here in the DR.
