Teen Summit 2008
From August 5 - 10, over 300 teens and their chaperones from 20 countries gathered in Boston for a global Teen Summit, hosted by the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network. The youth leaders, ages 13 to 18 -- from the United States, and as far away as Russia, New Zealand, Jordan, Israel, South Africa, and Brazil -- used their technology skills, teamwork, and their imaginations to help create solutions for issues faced by their communities. Their common bond is they are all members of the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network, a creative out-of-school learning program, now in its 15th anniversary year, whose global headquarters is at the Museum of Science, Boston.
The 2008 Teen Summit was funded by the Intel Foundation, with additional support from Adobe Systems, the Equal Footing Foundation, MIT, the Boys & Girls Club of Boston, the Museum of Science, Boston, and Forige, a leading youth services organization based in Ireland.
