The ACM Conference!

Oh my goodness, ACM CONFERENCE!
It's been a couple weeks since the conference, but we've needed it to recover.
@___@

The first day was a little hectic, what with locating everyone and making sure everyone was registered and such (turns out Pedro wasn't.... >_> ). Then most of us went to panels. Ivan had to run off and find his wallet and Andrew was still at school, though.
The hometown video awards were...long. And talkey. But Mai Cha got an award, so it was all good. But the awards ran long, so Andrew, Mai Cha and Bekka had to RUSH RUSH RUSH to get everything together for the youth screening. But it rocked out loud, so its ok. n___n




Day 2! We got those cards for the drawings filled out and then we were waiting for everybody to show up... Then we had to go to are panels and Pedro, Bekka, And I, Andrew went to the panel that Mai cha was on about YXVN and NYMAP. It was rad.






Then we went to lunch and we went to a second panel that Bekka and Kevin were on (!) about youth media and youth involvement in access centers. That one was rad, too.
That night, there was a YVXN dinner for the people directly involved. It was yummy. :)








On saturday..!..we had the Hands on Video Workshop!

We reflected on the conference and got to make videos about things to change, things that were good... We all had a lot of fun working with the other youth from around making the videos
The first video was what was good about the conference...
The second video was about what they should change next year
Third one was a message that you should start involving youth because we are the future of Media.



Here are the videos we created (be warned - there's about 30 seconds of black at the beginning - whoops!)
