At Computer Clubhouse after-school centers, young people (ages 10-18) from
low-income commmunities learn to express themselves creatively with new
technologies. Clubhouse members work on projects based on their own
interests, with support from adult mentors. By creating their own
animations, interactive stories, music videos, and robotic constructions,
Clubhouse members become more capable, confident, and creative learners.
The first Computer Clubhouse was established in 1993, as a collaboration
between the Lifelong Kindergarten group and The Computer Museum (now part
of the Boston Museum of Science). With financial support from Intel
Corporation, the Computer Clubhouse Network has expanded to more than 100
sites in 20 countries, serving more than 20,000 young people. The Lifelong
Kindergarten group continues to develop new technologies, introduce new
educational approaches, and lead professional-development workshops for
Clubhouses and other youth learning centers around the world.Mitchel Resnick Natalie Rusk Amon Millner Chris Garrity Robbie Berg
