More than 117 universities, high schools, and elementary schools around the world -- from Helsinki to Hong Kong to Houston -- participated in the Student Underground, a parallel version of 24 Hours in Cyberspace.

On February 8, students developed, wrote, photographed and designed their own stories about how cyberspace has affected their lives, and the lives of those around them.

A team of the world's leading picture editors spent weeks carefully sorting through the thousands of student entries, and we are very pleased to present what our editors believe is some of the most promising work.

The following stories were created and designed by participants in the Student Underground.
