Summit Schedule

• Find a different person in this room (that you DO NOT already know) to answer each question.

• Say hello and introduce yourselves.• Write that person’s name under the question they answered

and summarize their answer in the box. • You can answer the questions in any order you choose.• You can’t use the same person more than once and you can’t

use someone you already know.• Please say “thank you” or “nice to meet you” after you have

spoken. • The first person who gets their entire sheet filled out (and

follows the rules) wins a prize. Good luck!

Human Scavenger Hunt

• Participate! Share your knowledge, ideas, and experiences. Everyone’s input is equally valued.

• Be respectful of time – make sure you arrive to your sessions promptly.

• Respect each person speaking: listen, ask clarifying questions, and engage in discussions.

• Refrain from side conversations; note any points you would like to address later.

• Be as fully present as possible in each session.• Have fun and meet new people!

Summit Expectations

Making Cents: Youth Innovation in a Troubled Economy

Where do you stand?• I know people who are worried about how to pay for

college.• Luck, as opposed to hard work, is the key to

individual success.• The government needs to create more jobs, even if

that means we pay higher taxes.• If I REALLY want something but don’t have the cash,

it’s OK to put it on a credit card, regardless of the card’s interest rate.

AGREE DISAGREE

Where do you stand?• I have friends who have at least one parent who is

unemployed.• I sometimes worry about whether or not I’ll be able

to get a good job after I graduate (high school or college.)

• Life is easier for me than it was for my parents when they were growing up.
