Urban Youth Technology Fair 2011
Los Angeles, CA April 2011- City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Pacific Region, South District in conjunction with the C3 Foundation and Pressline Entertainment will host the "Invention to Innovation, See Yourself-See the Future" Urban Youth Technology Fair 2011 at St. Andrews Park. The park is located at 8701 St. Andrews Place Los Angeles, CA 90047. This day of cultural enrichment will take place Saturday March 30, 2011 from 11:30 A.M.-4:30P.M.
Armed with a mission to expose today’s youth to the knowledge, information and opportunities that can help them build their future through science and technological advancement; Derek Haskell and his team at Pressline Entertainment seek to educate, motivate, and encourage today’s youth to engage self determination and learning to effectively use today’s technology to help create positive change in their communities, before they enter the "working world".
Haskell and his team are seizing this opportunity to introduce urban youth to aerospace science, eco and green issues, medicine, aquatic and marine sciences, automotive technologies and engineering disciplines, which are not often seen in their community. "Invention to Innovation, See Yourself-See the Future" will provide young people the chance to meet and greet successful African American professionals from the field of technology, public and private sectors.
The Day includes: Urban Youth Technology Fair & Car Show 2011. Through a technology fair & car show, panels and guest speakers, the community's young people will see themselves and their future in faces that mirror their current experience.
The Urban Youth Technology Fair 2011 is another chapter in the effort to serve people locally and continue to remind the world that the ills caused by Katrina's devastation exceed yet simultaneously parallel the devastation that affects inner city communities across America. Over 5 years after the tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina helping hands are still needed to collaborate with residents to rebuild one of America's most beloved cities.
Currently traveling between New Orleans and Los Angeles to produce Pressline’s 2011 reality T.V. show “OPERATION N.O.” Pressline's Founder Derek Haskell stretches himself pretty thin. "It has to be done. New Orleans can only be rebuilt through the involvement of the City's people and a focus on an education system that was failing their youth before Katrina", Derek explains.
Pressline Entertainment is a film and music production company that develops, consults and manages artists who use their art as a voice to bring about world wide exposure to projects that uplift under-served communities everywhere.
