"Children 2.0" presentation (kids online activities & motivation)

We will have the event in the main auditorium, with an open & relaxed format. Speaker sessions will be fast-paced with short segments (for short attention spans), mixed in with activities to break up the pace. Interested educators/teachers, entrepreneurs, website owners, parents & youths will learn & participate in the program.

This event is the first half of a 2-part event involving another group (2nd half starts around 2pm, focused on motivation & goal-setting for children, also applicable to adults).

The location is 3 blocks from the Ballston metro station, and has plenty of parking.

The auditorium room is large, and the event is designed to be able to accomodate parents who want to take their teens/tweens. The setup will have space in the back for people who may want room to read, draw, etc. It is fine to bring computers, iPods, etc. as long as they are quiet & don't disrupt the main group.
