Samantha & Bianca drop some science on us by RubyJi, uploaded from flickr.
Samantha Velez and Bianca Ramos talked about what it's like for them as sixteen year olds in High School having to work 35 hours a week and go to school where half their class has already dropped out of school.
I was very impressed with these two young women and I'm glad they came to Harvard to speak at the Berkman/Sunlight meeting on Political Information in an Internet era.
in the midst of seeing all the new and exciting web and wiki initiatives, hearing from them about what needs to be done at a local. gave us a much needed perspective.
I see there is a snowball microphone there and hope that the recording of their talk gets posted to the net for a greater audience to hear.
I hope they get to go to SXSW.
