Building Community and Inspiring Youth Through Technology Building Community and Inspiring Youth Through Technology

THE INTEL COMPUTER CLUBHOUSE NETWORK

This community-based after-school technology learning program lets youth in underserved communities use professional hardware and software to create computer-based projects inspired by their own ideas. This helps them to acquire the skills necessary for personal and professional success in the 21st century.

A Computer Clubhouse is a place where young people—working with adult mentors and staff—use technology for learning and creative expression. This supportive environment helps young people:

  • Get experience with high-end professional hardware and software
  • Develop technical fluency
  • Build skills and self-confidence

In addition to giving youth in underserved communities a chance to prepare for tomorrow’s workplace, a Computer Clubhouse can inspire gifted students who may find school boring or unchallenging. It’s also a place where students can use some of their time outside of school (approximately 40% of their waking hours) in a constructive manner.
