A Note to Teachers and Parents

Getchy.com is a product of Children's Discovery Museum's CDMedia Studio.
It is a creative forum for youth 11-16 to learn the basics of online publishing. This online Zine not only teaches participating youth necessary skills, but offers them a voice, online. Getchy.com is written by teens for teens, and some content may be inappropriate for younger audiences.

Kids from all over Silicon Valley bring their various backgrounds, creative abilities, ideas, skills and enthusiasm together to produce this Zine. In order to create this issue, kids have helped each other learn html, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, and Adobe Illustrator. We will produce a new issue this coming school year and hope to expand our community as we go.

The purpose of the site is to offer a venue for youth to publish their creative efforts and to offer the tools and the knowledge to do that on their own. In addition we encourage participation from visitors to the site in the way of submissions of artwork, stories, digital media, comments and questions. Please see our privacy statement for more information.

If you know any youth who are interested in participating in the production of Getchy.com, please contact:
