Kate, Jenny, Rebecca, Kati and I were invited to speak this morning to a roomful of high school girls in a panel discussion of Art and Technology for the Trendsetters Network. We gave an overview of our projects and process in the 40-minute session. They got to hear a bit about Botanicalls, the Meatrix, Portable Phone Booth, Popularity Dialer, WildLight, Social Genius, a Sopranos game, Go-go Gloves and Collective Collage. About half of the girls in the room were interested in engineering as a career. Every single one had a cell phone that could take pictures. The future should be cool.
