The first program was launched in July 2003. For six weeks, 9 children ages 10 – 15 enjoyed a digital arts program in which they developed a website www.salempoint.org , photo galleries in PowerPoint accompanied by their original sound tracks, a compilation music CD with one original song per youth and a movie which was edited with sound effects on the PC. All of the art work for their own CD jewel case inserts and CD labels were designed by the teens. The teens completed and published the movie, music and web site under the moniker, CyberYouth Productions.

Copies of the compilation CD and movie can be purchased for a tax-deductible donation of $25.00.
