The theme for CyberFair
2012 Youth are challenged to publish original research projects that focus on how the dreams, positive actions and contributions of their local citizens have the power to improve, preserve and unite their community. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt In partnership with the World Future Society, students are also encouraged to also share their dreams for the future - by thinking about the possible future, the probable future, the preferable future and the preventable future. Projects that best illustrate "future thinking" are invited to the World Future Society international conference in Toronto, Canada, July 2012, WorldFuture 2012: Dream. Design. Develop. Deliver |
