Description: What happens when you convene great young minds for a modern-day digital science fair with an innovative online social media network? You discover hope for the future.

The Digital Open, an Institute for the Future (IFTF) project in partnership with Sun Microsystems and Boing Boing, captured the spirit and sensibilities of these passionate young makers in an open, public forum. The contest encouraged youth ages 17 and younger to submit free and open technology projects that create, improve, explore, or contribute to their world. The projects were classified in eight categories, ranging from sustainability to gaming, media to science and education. Industry notables such as Lawrence Lessig, founder of Stanford University’s Center for Internet and Society, Isaac Mao, a fellow at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Kiruba Shankar, CEO of Business Blogging and co-founder of The Knowledge Foundation, and many other esteemed innovators judged the entries.
