A gaming friend passed on this video of a super cool (and remarkably well-spoken and poised) 16 year old from Australia, one of the winners of an online tech expo for teens around the world called Digital Open. He created a game called Sneaky Card which 'uses social interaction as a platform.' More specifically, he made cards with instructions for fun or silly tasks or games which he would he would 'put-pocket' (the opposite of pick-pocketing) into the pockets and belongings of his classmates, teachers, and other people. Here's a fantastic video on his project:
It's great to see someone who is so engaged and aware of social interaction, especially a person who could just as easily be a typical whiny and self-obsessed adolescent like we were at his age:) I love this quote:
'I attempt to make people see the world in a different light...Life is almost like a technology. It's a platform. Just like the Internet. But it's REAL. And you only get one life. And no save points.'
Funny, engaging, inspirational, and altogether awesome work, Harry. Consider us impressed.
