[sl] The World Fit For Children Application Process Closed.
After two weeks of workshops for fifteen different teams, the process for entering new submissions has closed. Building has begun and tomorrow the firs entrants will be revealed.
There will be many activities over the course of the next week (schedule to appear soon) but until then we are sure the disappointed youth mentioned in the blog entry below are not alone. But rest assured, this won't be the last opportunity for youth interested in global issues to work with GK in Second Life.
I sent an email to my 14 year-old triplets a few days ago after stumbling on the Global Kids World Fit for Children Festival contest. It's the end of their quarter, so they've been very busy at school. Tonight they logged in to try to sign up and were upset that they missed the deadline for getting involved. They were truly excited about this project. They had even gone out and found another student so they could have two teams of two to participate (and compete) in this contest. I'm sure the $200 first prize had nothing to do with their enthusiasm, but it's not very often that I see this kind of enthusiasm for an educational endeavor.
