Abstract
In her critical work "Cyberfeminism with a Difference," Rosi Braidotti claims, "cyber-feminism needs to cultivate a culture of joy and affirmation" (257). It is this very sentiment that led to the development of the "Digital Mirror," a four-day residential computer camp for girls in grades six through eight. This article will establish the relationship between cyberfeminist theory and the activist practices of the Digital Mirror Camp by articulating the goals of the camp, explicating the lessons we have learned from enacting our cyberfeminist principles, and finally, by outlining pedagogical benchmarks applicable to a variety of sites of mentoring and learning.
