Curious what Digital Bytes is all about?

Digital Bytes is all about how you can explore and influence the digital world in which you live. Many teens have inspired/impacted the digital world in a big way...

• Seniors, known as the West High Bros, make the world a kinder place "one word at a time."
• One kid inspires imaginations globally with his cardboard magic.
• Erika used YouTube to take a stand and become a leader in the Dreamer movement.

These teens have found their voices. When is yours going to be heard? Be part of a real conversation and show us what you've got.

TASK: This task is to be completed either in pairs or individually. Go the following website to start this task http://digitalbytes.commonsensemedia.org/
