I am a fan of Gever Tulley. Gever is a brilliant guy. He is a computer scientist by trade but is the founder of The Tinkering School, a summer program that helps kids build the things that they think about and dream up.

I have known Doug Jones over at Perigrinatio (www.perigrinatio.com) for a bunch of years. We first met when we were both serving on a Sonlife event team we held in Baltimore at The Johns Hopkins University.

Mike King and I are hosting a small(er) gathering of youth workers at our YouthFront South Camp this coming spring — April 23-25. This gathering is in cooperation with Brian McLaren and his Every Thing Must Change conference.
