DMC / TEEC Joint Council MeetingThe Digital Media Council (DMC) and Technology & Education Executive Council (TEEC) at Skillpoint Alliance hosted its Combined Quarterly meeting on Friday, June 4. The meeting featured a “pecha-kucha” format (see footnote below) that provided a fast-paced insight into the unique work the councils and its members do. Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD) Austin Lone Star Campus proved the perfect backdrop for the morning’s events, which drew roughly 50 business, community, and education executives for the high-energy briefing. The morning included presentations by: AMD, Del Valle ISD, the City of Austin, Applied Materials, Media Boot Camp, Girl Start, SIGGRAPH, and the Vislab @Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).

**Never heard of pecha-kucha? “Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat," it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.” Check it out: http://www.pecha-kucha.org/
Hundreds of 9- to 14-year-olds participated in the Central Texas FIRST LEGO League (FLL) program thanks to the amazing support of parents, schools, mentors from local high tech companies, colleges and universities, and tons of volutneers. Students engaged in hands-on probelm solving with LEGO Robotics while researching real-world issues and creating their own solutions. "This event was amazing," an FLL student participant said. "My team had such a wonderful time. The energy and enthusiasm were unbelievable."
