The HP Visual Collaboration team is happy to have among us the lead for many philanthropic events at the San Diego site. Rachael Perez takes special care to promote technology and education among the Hispanic community of school kids. HP held such an event last week, hosting 100 kids, largely from San Diego's Barrio Logan along with 79 HP employees' kids.
The BEST PART OF THE DAY by far, said the kids via email after the event, was the HP Visual Collaboration Halo demonstration!
Desiderio – “I think the best thing in there was the Halo rooms because people from far away could talk to you or you could talk with friends.”
Briana – “Thank you for letting us go on that field trip. It was fun. I liked the part where we went to the Halo room because we could talk and see other people from other places.”
Victoria – “When we went on the field trip, I liked the Halo room because you could talk to others from far away.”
Paola – “I really enjoyed the Halo room. It was fun seeing my friends from the other group and saying things to them. I had a really good time. Thank you.”
Lizbeth – “The Halo room was cool because you could see other groups on the screen and they taught us how to connect with other people on the screen.”
Eunice – “I really like the Halo rooms because it is amazing that people can talk all over the world.”
Fernanda – “The one I liked the most was the Halo room, because it was so funny and cool seeing other people from all the way to the other building.”
Emily – “The thing that I liked about the field trip was the Halo rooms. I thought it was so cool because we got to see the other group.”
Jhouvanny – I really enjoyed the Halo room because you can communicate with other people from all over the world, LIVE. Also because it is like a meeting room.”
Efrain – “I enjoyed the Halo room because they made a comic, for example they made the picture frame of Sponge Bob Square Pants. The frame was awesome!”
Mauro – “The most fun thing that we did at HP was the Halo rooms. They were the most fun and exciting. We got to see our friends through a screen and they saw us. We also played games.”
Thanks kids!
For a country (and state) that needs more engineers, scientists and mathematicians - HP hopes such events bring kids the inspiration they need to work hard in school - and be tomorrow's entrepreneurs!
