Computer clubhouses to inspire youth
The Intel Clubhouse Network aims to proliferate and establish the clubhouse learning as a replicable model for technology learning. There are at present 50 similar clubhouses operational in 10 countries around the world. Steve Nossel, Intel SA's country manager, explains that the clubhouses provide access for the youth of under-serviced communities to express themselves through projects based on their own interests. Projects like these are essential if South Africa is to bridge the digital divide and uplift underprivileged youth.
The initiative is driven by a partnership between Intel, the Museum of Science, Boston and the MIT Media Lab. Since the first Computer Clubhouse was founded in 1993 Intel has become the major major sponsor in expanding the award-winning project to hundreds of other locations around the world.
Says Amos Masondo, executive mayor of Johannesburg, "The City of Johannesburg welcomes this initiative of Intel Computer Clubhouses with enthusiasm and pride as this initiative will go a long way in providing much-needed skills for our youth. We have no doubt that this investment for under-resourced communities will yield the desired returns."
