SPECIAL EVENTS

Computer Clubhouse Teen Summit
August 5-10, 2008, Boston MA
Three Gold Crown Computer Clubhouse members and one staff person joined almost 450 other teens and chaperones from 104 Clubhouses around the world in Boston, to meet in person, share ideas, and engage in cross-Clubhouse collaboration. The Summit is designed to encourage members to see
their place in the greater Clubhouse Network and society at large, and to begin to establish and work towards career and educational goals as well as foster a greater understanding of cultures and youth experiences around the world.

During the six-day program, the Clubhouse Teen Summit enabled youth (and
participating staff) from each Clubhouse to work together on collaborative design
activities and plan future activities for online collaboration.

The majority of the Teen Summit took place on the Northeastern University campus, including housing, meals and daily activities, offering our young people a chance to participate in an extended college experience.

They meet for 3 hours once a week for an introduction to the VEX Robotics kit and robotic design which includes basic engineering themes such as gear ratios, torque versus speed, and problem solving. Participants compete in a robot soccer match, a drag race, tractor pull, and a grand challenge in the final week.
