Teen Tech Week & MySpace Photos Demo

Why do young people LOVE MySpace so much?

MySpace is a revolutionary tool for communicating with friends and expressing yourself. The power of MySpace is truly undeniable!

For Teen Tech Week the Digital Arts Lab team set out to help local teens learn about the HTML code that makes their MySpace pages work. This was a FUN opportunity to meet the young people of Salinas where they are... on MySpace.

We gave a "HTML Basics For MySpace Photos" demo at the Digital Arts Lab (John Steinbeck Library) on Monday, March 9th. This demo was a big success with 9 young people participating.

We also offered the same Learn & Play Demo the next day at the Cesar Chavez Library. The picture above shows me (Bjorn) explaining HTML image tags and attributes to the group of 12 participants.

The two Learn & Play Demos were a great beginning to Teen Tech Week 2009. We are looking forward to the Dance Dance Revolution (Wednesday, March 11th), Cool Tech Careers Video (Thrusday, March 12th) and the Rock Band Open Jam (Friday, March 13th).

Visit the John Steinbeck Library this week to catch ALL the action!
