Techno Day at the ARC

The day for the technology fair finally arrived, after a lot of hard work and preparation from the Digital Community Network team. The aim of the day is to showcase new forms of technology, to all local residents within our community - and to see what people already know about and what they want to learn more about.

There were 61 people through the doors of the ARC at 4pm, with many waiting patiently for the time to come. A represnetative from Currys store in Fforestfach came along with a 32" HD ready TV and a PS3 with games. He held a competition to see who could car race around a track the fastest, and the winner was Richard Punchard aged 11 form Portmead - who won an mp3 player - WELL DONE RICHARD!!!

We had many youngsters play with the latest Nintendo Wii, and dance the afternoon away with the PS2 dance mats. There were others making funny photo pictures on the apple mac, and pumping out music with garage band. Many people also left some wild and wonderful messages in our video diary room too.. which i have yet to view!
