Special Edition - Dare 2B Digital Digitized

This is a very special edition of TechnoGirlTalk featuring a video made by a group of teenaged young women at Dare 2B Digital. This one-day conference drew 250 female 7th-10th graders for a day of learning about computers and engineering. Held at Foothill College in Los Altos on February, the event was inspiring and energizing. For more about the event, listen to last week's podcast--one of the panelists, Anne Hardy of SAP was the driving force behind making it happen.

The five workshop participants took footage throughout the day using Cisco "Flip" cameras provided by the company, which was also one of the sponsors of the event. Some chose directly interviewing participants, others took sweeping shots of crowd scenes or workshop situations. The workshop that is most prominently shown here was one that taught participants how packets of data move through the pipes of the Internet. All of the videographers are credited at the end. In addition, credit goes to Crystal Yan for assisting with the workshop. Our roving tech reporters were as follows:

Deshia Frazier, 16, Edison Senior High School
Eliza Hunt, 15, Notre Dame High School
Katarina Stein, 13, Cuhna Intermediate
Natasha Stergiou, 15, Carlmont High School
Margaret Stratton, 15, Mountain View High School
