The YMCA of Greater Seattle has wrapped up a 2009 Tech Matching Fund grant. With $19K in city funds and over $28k in matching contributions, the Y trained 257 youth in middle and high school using a moblie lab. The youth gained skills in online safety, Internet research, digital photography, video production, media literacy, effective communication, graphics design, social networking, blogging and podcasting. Here is a slide show produced by an Aki Kurose student http://www.pugetsoundoff.org/video/11797, and a video from a Hamilton middle school youth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzmyXU0Wsns
