On August 12, 2012, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) will host the first Youth TechCamp in Washington, D.C. The Youth TechCamp builds on the series of Tech Camps hosted by the State
Department around the world over the last two years to increase the digital literacy of civil society groups. ECA’s Youth TechCamp supports Secretary Clinton’s 21st Century Statecraft policy by encouraging young people to engage and contribute to
the digital networks and technologies of today’s interconnected world.
Youth TechCamp will provide a full day of training for 21 Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program alumni representing 11 countries. Participants will interact with top technology experts from Mozilla, a non-profit
organization. Mozilla’s Hackasaurus team will provide hands-on training in open source Internet design and development. The Youth TechCamp will enable these future leaders to learn how they can use connection technologies to make a positive impact in their
communities around the world.
