Welcome to the very first Youth Salon 2013 prep post! Following on from last Thursday’s brainstorm discussion, students selected discussion topics that they found particularly interesting and we asked you guys to consider the following questions:

What is the issue?

What is the impact?

How might be change be effected? Are there people working for change?

Are there opposing views?

Does learning about this topic change your perspective?

As with all of these posts, we encourage you guys to leave comments and keep the discussion flowing all week long! : )

Phase 2 is going to use the Media Lab site to work toward the 2013 Youth Salon! Check back for updates!
