Kabren Levinson’s Summary

I am a geek. According to Wikipedia, a geek is “one who is primarily motivated by passion.” Throughout my years in highschool, I have engaged in multiple artistic, political, social, and technological pursuits.

I have been podcasting since July 2005. Since then, I have become a politically aware person and an advocate for free press. On October 27th at PodCamp Boston 2, I led a session on teen podcasting that turned into an open discussion on teens, education, podcasting, and new social media.

In early 2007, I wrote a 10 page essay about how the Internet has transformed into a network where the general public is now able to maneuver and develop it, from a system where only experts in the field maintained its infrastructure. Currently, I am planning to write three or four chapters to a book about the Internet.

I am currently a student at the Cambridge School of Weston high school in Weston, Massachusetts.

Kabren Levinson’s Education

• Bard College

  2008 — 2012 (expected)

• Cambridge School of Weston

  2004 — 2008

  I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at CSW. Though it has its problems (as all schools do), it has offered my an alternative educational philosophy that works for me. For example, students and teachers, and even school administration, are close to one another.
  
  I am currently working with the Assistant Head of School to develop a technology program - student focused - at my school. Part of this program will be a series of student-taught classes, available to both faculty and students, about technical "things" (podcasting, web design, blogging, etc). In addition, I am pioneering a partnership between my school and another organization.

  Activities and Societies:

  Gryphon's Eye (school news paper) photography and layout/design
