MKA 8th Graders Sydney Polinchock and William Goodall Present at South by Southwest Conference

The South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference offers the unique convergence of music, independent films, and emerging technologies. Fostering creative and professional growth alike, SXSW® is the premier destination for discovery. The event is a launching pad for new creative content. Conference panel discussions present a forum for learning and global networking opportunities abound.

MKA 8th graders Sydney Polinchock and William Goodall presented today, in Austin, Texas and are two of the youngest panelists ever to have been at the conference. Their presentation was named Conversations with Digital Natives: Teens Talk, and focused onGen Z and how this large segment of the population is very different than previous generations as Gen Z has grown up with technology and a very different media world. Sydney and William had been interviewing their peers to get a better view into how they live and their relationships with technology and media, enabling everyone who attended the presentation to get a first-hand view into what this generation, of teens, is doing, thinking and making.

Congratulations to Sydney and William on this great accomplishment!
