Birchwood Learning Center Volunteers from several organizations are working to provide a nurturing place to foster inquisitive minds and to teach information technology skills to children, teens, and adults in Birchwood Heights and surrounding areas. The Birchwood Learning Center now has several computers on the Internet. This program provides information about positive, healthy living, with emphasis on alcohol and drug education, and at the same time develops computer literacy with the technical skills to create and maintain World Wide Web pages. Judy and RTPnet are participating in the program. Hargraves Technology Center RTPnet purchased five computers for the Hargraves Technology Center , in Chapel Hill's Hargraves Recreation Center, in December 1998.
Plans are underway to use the machines for public access to the Internet and for training.
