This talk details an initiative I was part of at Palantir.net where we took a dozen college-aged students and introduced them to Drupal, web technology, and open source. We gave everyone one-on-one mentoring, a laptop, a trip to MidCamp in Chicago, and to DrupalCon in Nashville. We worked with some amazing partner organizations to make this happen.
