WHAT IS IT
A team of high-school students, who were sponsored by DigiQuest, were available to assist with transcription, HTML coding, and other odd jobs that kept the process going. They also had the special task of explaining the Internet, technology and PlanetYouth to the distinguished guests attending the Forum.
