[UNICEF/Teen] A World Fit for Children Building Contest
Hi there! Let me introduce myself, my name is Alpha Zaius on the teen grid. I am currently helping Global Kids along with with the the "World Fit for Children Building Contest." This contest is the biggest one ever seen on the grid and I am extremely happy to be a part of it. So, here is the low-down on what is going on.
(click to read on)
Teams of at least 3 members will assemble on the grid and attend a fully interactive workshop. The two hour workshop will showcase several different global issues that UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) strive to correct in the world such as hunger, education, discrimination, etc. The teams will then build an exhibit in Second Life to demonstrate one or more of these issues and what we all can do to help out. The exhibits will be judged by a "Voices of Youth" (A group of teens that represent UNICEF) member. Here is the exciting part! The prizes are as follows (all in United States Dollars:)
1st place: team shares $200
2nd place: team shares $100
3rd place: team shares $50
The workshops consist of a snapshot contest, scavenger hunt, and other interactive fun things to get yourself situated about what UNICEF is doing without the boring lecture. The following is a list of avaliable time slots that Global Kids have devoted to the timeslots. Keep an eye on this blog in the very, very near future for information on how to sign up.

I am not alone on this venture. I would like to say thanks to Aesop Thatch, Katharine Berry, and Global Kids with their hard work to keep me moving along with this project. Aesop is our builder who created the awesome workshop area! Katharine is our web girl / scripter / all-a-round-handy person to have.. She has been working on the whole web application entirely by herself!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Tabitha GKid inworld. Thanks :)
