| One
of the most frequent questions we get is, "How can I participate
in Black Family Technology Awareness Week?" The
quick answer is that only your imagination and resources limit
you. Almost any activity that promotes technology is appropriate.
To get you started, here are just a few ideas.
Family Tech Night
Have your organization or a national chapter host discussions
about how technology is affecting our community life. Include
discussions about the employment and hiring trends in your
community, the public/private school systems and their ability
to prepare our children for technology in the future. Then
submit a report to Black Engineer and Information Technology
magazine for compilation.
