Communicate to all residents, especially young people, the importance of Information Technology. All children need to learn how to master technological skills for global competitiveness in the community at large and to gain access to college and career opportunities. Provide neighborhood access to Information Technology tools. These tools bring to the community resources that reinforce active, problem-based learning and permit access to information otherwise unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Initiate a technology outcome-based curriculum.
Learners actually learn by doing.
Their hands-on effort result in usable and meaningful applications and transfer readily to the classroom and the workplace. Provide an opportunity to bring parents into the learning process. Parents enhance their own skill and help to reinforce within their own children the importance of learning. Each Center will include eight to ten computer work stations. Center sites will be electronically linked to each other and the Internet.
