There have been very few submissions for our Teen Tech Online Challenges event this month — actually, there have been none.
HOWEVER, I choose to believe that lots of teens have tried out the Flickr toys and made hilarious/poignant/touching works of art which they have then shared with their friends and family.
I do not do this because of any pesky facts or statistics — simply my general faith in creativity of teenaged-folk and my actual experiences with getting them to participate in activities and share their creations.
Unless duct tape is involved. That seems to bring them in.
So, because they [YOU!] did not come to me….
…I will come to them [YOU!].
Kinda like stalking. But with software.
Here are some shiny linky-bits and fun stuff that I’ve found as I’ve skipped merrily down the road to he….um…to the park.
I love parks. Lots of trees. They rock.
Parks, that is, not necessarily the trees…unless they’re petrified…but that’s really rare….um.
Right. Here you go. J
Make an animated GIF from your pictures.
Think collages but without the glue.
Turn words into shapes.
Make beautiful word clouds.
Make your very own computer game.
…’cause teen tech week is EVERY week.
I guess this means that there’s joy to be found, after all.
Awesome. J
Always,

Hi,
I’m looking to connect with anime artist and I noticed you have a club. Is it just for enthusiests or do you have any members who are artists? I’m looking to have some nifty drawings done for a website!!! Would love to have the artist be a teen since the website is for teen readers! Let me know if you think you can help.
Thanks,
Lee
Hello Lee,
I do know a couple of teens who are good artists. I will forward your request to them and leave it to them to follow up — after discussing it with their parents, if necessary.
Thank you for reaching out to our library and our teens.
Always,
Missy
