GEAR UP sponsored our trip to New Jersey. We visited and toured two colleges there -- Seton Hall University and Rider University. As you can see from our video, we learned a lot and had a great time on our trip. As always, thank you GEAR UP!
Do you MySpace? Are you addicted to it? Are you wary of it? Your answers to these questions may depend on which side of the digital divide you're on. Over the last few weeks, we have interviewed teachers, students, and administrators at our school about their own points of view on the issues and controversies surrounding the MySpace community. Listen to our podcast, and tell us what you think!
Today, we attended the second annual event, "Engineering the World: Engineers' Impact on the Globe," sponsored by the Black Professionals at Turner and The National Society of Black Engineers -- Alumni Extension, Central Jersey Chapter and New York 'XL' Chapter. We made contacts with many role models, attended sessions on money management and careers in engineering, and participated in a simulated show production on a CNN television set.
Today we headed south to visit the podcasters at the Lower East Side Girls Club. We checked out their podcasting booth, looked at their equipment, and learned a little more about our own. Renee gave us tips for getting through our struggles with procrastination. Listen to our recording of the podcast we made at her booth, using our new iRiver T30 recorder.
Students visited Fordham University this Saturday to take in the campus, dine in the student dining hall, and attend a basketball game. Go Rams!
