Four Intel Computer Clubhouses Open In Chicagoland

Four Intel Computer Clubhouses, which are unique after–school learning centers for children ages 10 to 18, are opening in the Chicago area in the next two weeks. These clubhouses will be located in existing community service agencies around the city – specifically the ABJ Community Services, Austin YMCA, Howard Area Community Center and WYTEC.

“These new Intel Computer Clubhouses will give Chicago youth access to the latest technology, connecting them with the world and exposing them to a whole new spectrum of opportunities,” said Rosalind Hudnell, Intel director of diversity. “With the new technologies and support of dedicated mentors from the hosting agencies, hundreds of young people will be able to channel their curiosity and creativity into learning about their world while developing skills that can improve both their academic and professional futures.”

Computer Clubhouse members learn by doing. Youth can create digital artwork; produce their own music CDs; film, write and edit short movies; and design Web sites. Most come to the Clubhouse knowing little about technology, and leave with the skills and self–confidence to succeed in today’s technology–driven society.
