The above faculty invite you to consider attending an important workshop on
digital-age youth to be featured at the 2013 iConference.


*Name*: Digital Youth Workshop: Calling All Designers, Researchers, and
Policy-Makers

*Date*: 8am-12pm, February 12, within the larger iConference that runs from
February 12-15.

*Location*: Fort Worth, Texas


****Early Bird registration ends December 15, 2012. Visit
http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/registration to register (note
preconference workshops are free with conference registration).



The goals of the 2013 digital youth workshop are to bring together
researchers who are interested in contempoary youth and in being at the
outset of a new digital youth community. The workshop will consist of
one-minute “lightning” presentations followed by an unConference format
where participants come together around working groups of interest.


The digital youth workshop at iConference 2013 is the first in a
three-event sequence. It will bring together  a diverse initial community
that will further comprise a steering group to help plan the second event,
a Digital Youth Summit 2014 (in Seattle) that will be sponsored and attract
participants from industry, government, non-profits, education, and media.
The third event will return to the iConference 2015 for reporting out.


There is still room for more participants, and the organizing team from
Michigan, Maryland, and UW would like to see as wide a representation as
possible in the workshop. We especially invite faculty members and doctoral
students from the same school to attend together. So if you’re interested
and have not already signed up,  please take advantage of early bird
registration (and invite other faculty and doctoral students to do so also)
and sign up for this February 12 half-day workshop (FREE) when you register
for iConference 2013.


We’d also like to keep track of who is attending, so if you would please
contact University of Washington graduate assistant, Elizabeth Mills
jemills1 at uw.edu to let us know who from your School or Department will be
attending – and also if you have further questions.
