The videos they created (linked below) represent the 3 stories of the DIY Citizenship conference as told by students from the WTC high-school. These  stories will air in a special screening at the
TIFF Bell Lightbox on Friday 19th November from 12:30pm-1:45pm. The students will be there and we can have a question and answer period on their experiences.

We are very proud to share their work and congratulate them, the editors, Hungry Eyes,
their teacher Ian Esquivel, and Rhonda!

from Rhonda:

i witnessed grade 12 toronto students engaged and immersed in the project from the time we met them 7 weeks ago, and throughout the pre-conference workshop on filming led by Sudz Sutherland,and then most recently over the past two days at the conference.they were self-directed, thoughtful, critical, playful, and intellectually present.i enjoyed being a 'fly on the wall' as i conducted ethnographic research on youth participation as citizens in a conference that directed them to be DIY makers. i will be writing about the experience of doing this project and on the reflections of the students who participated.

Congratulations to all. Many thanks to Nick Pagee and the TIFF Bell Lightbox team, editors Jeff, Michelle, Emily, Roz and Iain, and a very special thanks to Hungry Eyes Film and Television. Most of all thanks to Ian Esquivel and the

students of Western Technical and Commercial. This experimental project was a roaring success.

Elements of a Networked Urbanism Lecture (November 10, 2010, 5:45 pm to 7:30 pm)
Over the past several years, we’ve watched as a very wide variety of objects and surfaces familiar from everyday life have been reimagined as networked information-gathering, -processing, -storage, and -display resources. Why should cities be any different?

What happens to urban form and metropolitan experience under such circumstances? What are the implications for us, as designers, consumers and as citizens.

Join Urbanscale's Adam Greenfield as he explores the real-time, read/write city in fifteen key transitions.

Walkshop (November 11, 2010, 2:30pm to 5:00pm)
Systems/Layers is a half-day “walkshop,” held in two parts. The first portion of the activity is dedicated to a slow and considered walk, during which we'll be looking for appearances of the networked digital in the physical, and vice versa: apertures through which the things that happen in the real world drive the “network weather,” and contexts in which that weather affects what people see, confront and are able to do.

Visions of networked urbanism tend to live in what Paul Dourish and Genevieve Bell call a "proximate future," that just-over-the-horizon window of time that never actually seems to arrive. But how do networked services inform our choices and experiences in the real city that we actually inhabit at this moment? We're going to take a walk around a Toronto site and look for the appearances, manifestations and points of application where the affordances and constraints of networked informatics are already relevant to urban life.
