Intel's Computer Clubhouse

(revised post)

There are Intel Computer Clubhouses worldwide. I am going to focus on two: one in a rural/remote area in Pascua Yaqui, Arizona, USA; and one in an urban area in Dublin, Ireland.

This news article presents ways that kids are learning to use computers to present aspects of their culture.

Here is some history about Internet access made available to Native Americans from the Gates Foundation: Native American Access story.

Another story indicating that funds for this clubhouse have come not only from Intel but also from Congress.

Still another story (this one from USA Today) about the clubhouse; it also provides information on funding sources and amounts.
