This is a highly interactive site (in English and French) that helps teenagers find what they are good at by imagining what a day in their life would look like in 2020. What skills will they have and how will they be using them? It teaches students that they have been developing a broad cross-section of life and work skills all their lives, through school, home and community activities. It was created to bolster self-esteem of youth, ages 11-18, with the recognition of the many skills they are acquiring now and how these skills will be useful in their future careers.

Created by 16-year-old Heidi Rogers and more than a dozen other mostly teenage grrlz, Cyber Grrlz accurately describes itself as "the e-zine for girls with brains and a sense of humor. The purpose of Purple Pyjamas is to provide an opportunity for young women to meet, discuss topics of interest to them, share ideas, and learn from each other. We are a community with a sense of comfort, privacy, and coziness where young women can relax and be themselves. The concept is to allow girls to contribute material to just about every page on the site, to engage in fun chat meetings, and to get as silly or as serious as they want in our discussion forums.
