Summer Tech Day: Kids, Science and Technology

What do you get when you combine a bunch of kids with Classmates PCs roaming the floor of the California Academy of Sciences?  Technology Chaos. Yes, that describes today’s events.

Really though, today was quite an experience.  I spent most of the day with some really awesome youngsters who are way beyond the technology curve of adoption.  The event was hosted by Intel and we invited a bunch of kids and their parents (industry analysts and local bloggers) for some fun in the sun. Well, as usual, it was a tad cloudy in SF but I think you catch my drift, no pun. 

Basically, we equipped each kid with a convertible classmate PC and sent them off into the museum to perform several tasks like taking video of fish, snakes and other critters; drawing pictures with their PC and much more. Here is some video and images that highlight today’s events.
