Baldwin High, World Affairs Councils host an international student summit on cyber-warfare.
On Dec. 7, 1941, 353 Japanese aircrafts attacked and killed 2,402 Americans at a Hawaii naval base, essentially drawing the United States into World War II. And that was even before computer hackers. Students from around the globe directed their eyes toward a Baldwin High School classroom on the anniversary of that Attack on Pearl Harbor, which served as a semi-fitting backdrop for an international student summit at the high school on Friday. The online summit, brought to Baldwin High by the World Affairs Councils of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and made possible by technology from Twitter, Skype and the Philadelphia-based MAGPI network, linked together students from Pennsylvania, Texas and Islamabad, Pakistan, to tackle the ever-changing …

Students from across Pennsylvania, and some in Slovenia, participated in a collaborative video conference on Thursday that focused on famine in Somalia.
As the BBC reported on Thursday morning on what it called a “Twitter War” between African Union troops and the Somalian militant group al-Shabab, who continue fighting in that nation’s capital, Baldwin High School students were preparing to send their own tweets about that region. Roughly 160 students, 75 of them from Baldwin-Whitehall, gathered at Baldwin High on Thursday for an International Student Summit that addressed famine and conflict in the Horn of Africa. Organized in part by the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, the summit used videoconferencing technology and Twitter to bring together about 500 students from schools across Pennsylvania and one school in Slovenia. The summit began with a discussion including panelists from …
