Title: Positively preoccupied with Pokémon (and other timely topics)
Description:
Are half the adults you know suddenly preoccupied with Pokémon? Today's teens may be as well, but, like adults, they also use tech in many other ways, for good or for ill. Let's talk about the negative influence technology can have on teens (e.g. cyberbullying) and ways that technology can make a positive impact on teenagers' lives.

@RPGprotagonistTracey is an incoming junior currently at Rosemount High School. She has been able to pursue her interest in Computer Science through mentoring in CoderDojo with Scratch, AppInventor, Web Development, and Finch Robots. Last year, she and her partner were Regional Winners for the Technovation Challenge with their app, AbroadNet, which helps bridge the gap between foreign exchange and local students. Because of these opportunities, Tracey has learned just as much from the younger students she mentored, as any strong teacher would. She is interested in pursuing a computer science career in the future.
