One of my engineers was a ScriptEd volunteer last year and she has since convinced me to hire a ScriptEd intern this summer, as well as volunteer at the Hackathon in a couple weeks.

Last fall, at my last company (Canvas <http://canvas.is>), we had a "class" of ScriptEd students come visit our agency and learn about how agencies work. A lot of the kids were absolutely amazed at just the basic experience of an interactive agency. They asked questions that you take for granted as being "understood" by engineers and designers and other agency employees. That being said, when we broke them up into brainstorming groups helping us "design an app" for a client's pitch, they were great fun, so smart and so interested in the work. They brought life experience to a pretend pitch that we would never otherwise have been exposed to.

I'm really excited to have an intern from ScriptEd this summer and to continue to support such an amazing organization.
