Progress Update 4/10/09

Another good week in terms of progress with the FreshBrain Summer Virtual Technology Camp.  Here are some highlights.

  • We made progress again with a number of the learning paths.
  • First outline for the Learn Java Programming path has been created
  • More interaction with the Wild Pockets team, getting pretty close to having the Make a 3D Video Game path complete
  • Met with Next Vista and have a good concept for the Make Great Videos path
  • Continued to work with Giant Campus on a combined photo and graphics path that we are likely to call Digital Graphics Lab
  • Talked more about the music path and came up with a fun new name - Mix It, Mash It, Make Your Own Music 
  • We continued to enhance the platform.
  • We now have the ability to use open groups for our learning paths, where they include the activities that make up the path
  • More performance fixes have gone in to handle a large number of users
  • We made great progress with the Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley.  They will be building our virtual summer camp into their physical camp - having teens use their computer labs to participate.
  • We met with the Girl Scouts.  They will be letting their teens know about the camp through their newsletter.
  • We have identified our first few interns, who will serve as camp counselors:)
  • We now have Ed Hardy signed up to provide some great prizes over the summer!

This is all pretty exciting!
