teens

Google’s Made With Code program has joined with Snap Inc to host  a contest for teens to code a geofilter

I have a pressing question:  Do you love the young people in your life?  If you do, would you make effort to share information that could positively impact their future?   Suspecting that the answers to both of the questions are a resounding—yes—then please make note that until October October 8, teens can go to MadewithCode.com to code a geofilter and submit a 100-word statement about the future they envision. 

American’s Blind Eye

America has become blind to the new modern day slavery that is called human trafficking. It is a heinous crime that involves humans being treated as possessions to be exploited for the profit and benefit of others. In 2008, estimates of 2.4 million people worldwide were victims of human trafficking and 1.2 million were minors. In addition 43% of victims were trafficked for sexual exploitation and 25% were trafficked for both sexual and forced labor.
