Time Warner Cable Announces Second Annual Connect a Million Minds Week(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEW YORK, April 4 -- Time Warner Cable issued the following news release: Time Warner Cable today announced the curriculum Cracking the Codes in the Wireless World for its second annual Connect a Million Minds Week running from April 4-8, 2011. Geared toward middle school students, this year's CAMM Week curriculum gives young people the opportunity to explore and experience the technologies behind the wireless products they encounter every day. During CAMM Week students in California, New York, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Idaho, Maine, Arizona, and Wisconsin will visit Time Warner Cable facilities and unlock the mysteries behind wireless communications. Activities are organized into three areas - Create, Transmit and Connect. In Create, students explore different types of digital content, and the codes that keep it protected. In Transmit, participants model a home wireless network, and strategize how to send information more efficiently over the network. In Connect, students experience how multiple wireless technologies communicate, and build a backhaul network to see how wireless depends on wired technologies. "More than ever before, we depend on wireless networks to connect us to people, entertainment and information, and this year CAMM Week will pull back the curtain and give students a hands-on experience demystifying the technologies behind the wireless world they interact with everyday," said Ellen East, Time Warner Cable's Executive Vice President and Chief Communications Officer. "These students become Time Warner Cable engineers for a day, interacting with and learning alongside Time Warner Cable employees who work in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) related careers and can demonstrate how these disciplines underlie our business and their lives in fun and interesting ways." Last year, more than 3,000 students and Time Warner Cable employee volunteers participated in inaugural CAMM week which saw the launch of Time Warner Cable's Cracking the Codes in the Digital World curriculum and included the support of 24 proclamations in 8 states.
