Made possible by Adobe Systems Inc. Visionary Sponsor of ZeroOne San Jose

ZeroOne San Jose/ISEA 2006 Symposium Education Programs will engage over 500 K - 12 grade students, worldwide, in art & technology programs that take place this spring and summer in classrooms and after-school programs. In addition, during the Festival from August 5-12, daily community media programs, internships, public programs and workshops for youth and their families will take place with festival artists and local artist trainers and arts educators. All projects will be displayed during the festival and be accessible globally, online.

The Festival Education programs are made possible by a generous grant from Adobe Systems Inc., Visionary Sponsor of ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge and the 13th International Symposium on Electronic Art.

The Flora Family Foundation has generously made additional support to this program.
