| About
the Computer Clubhouse
The Computer Clubhouse is a worldwide network of after-school
learning centers focusing on youth (ages 10-16) from low-income
communities who would not otherwise have access to technological
tools and activities.
Through projects related to their own interests, Clubhouse
members design their own animations, robots, videogames, interactive
newsletters, music, simulations, and multimedia presentations.
Inner-city youth who come to the Clubhouse gain
fluency with new technologies and become producers (not just consumers)
of new computational media. |
