Next week, 250 teen ambassadors from 20 countries, including Russia, Jordan, Israel, South Africa, Palestine, New Zealand, India, Brazil and the United States will be heading to Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts for the 2010 Teen Summit. This biennial event provides underserved youth from Intel Computer Clubhouse Network a forum to express themselves through graphic design, video animation, music, 3D modeling and other high-end technologies. The theme of this year’s summit is: Mobilize, Act, Inspire! Between July 27 and August 1, these young leaders, ages 13 to 18, will work together to address socially conscious community challenges, including reducing urban violence, improving the environment and fighting poverty.

Select summit events, noted below, will be open to the public, so if you live in the Boston area please stop by to see firsthand these teens’ work. Today’s youths are our leaders of tomorrow, so let’s show them our support!

We hope to post updates and photos from the Teen Summit, so stay tuned to Inspire. To learn more about Intel Computer Clubhouse and the 2010 Teen Summit, visit http://www.computerclubhouse.org/.
