In Brief: Intel opens computer clubhouse in Atlanta

May 25, 2006

Intel opened its latest computer clubhouse for the Boys & Girls Club in Atlanta.

The center will provide after-school learning for children ages 10 to 18 in the area.

"Intel and the Boys and Girls Club's collective goal is to help open up the world of opportunities to the youth of southwest Atlanta through access to the latest technology and support of dedicated staff and mentors," said Rosalind Hudnell, Intel director of diversity. "Each young person who attends will be able to explore his or her curiosity and creativity in an environment full of resources designed to help develop skills which can improve academic and professional futures."

The Intel Computer Clubhouse Network is a project of the Museum of Science in Boston in collaboration with the MIT Media Laboratory. The chipmaker has so far invested $32 million in the project over the past five years to establish more than 100 clubhouses nationwide.
