About the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network
• Using the \"original\" Computer Clubhouse as a model, the Intel Computer
Clubhouse Network supports community-based Computer Clubhouses
around the world, providing thousands of youth with access to resources,
skills, and experiences to help them succeed in their careers, contribute to
their communities, and lead outstanding lives

WHY ?
Access Gap V Fluency Gap
Today, discussions about the “digital divide” typically focus on differences in
access to computers or broadband. That will change. As the costs of
computing decline, people everywhere will gain better access to digital
technology. But there is a real risk that only a small handful will be able to use
the technologies fluently. In short, the “access gap” will shrink, but a serious
“fluency gap” could remain.

HOW?
The Computer Clubhouse provides a creative and safe after-school learning
environment where young people from under-served communities work with
adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop skills, and build confidence in
themselves through the use of technology.

HOW?
Clubhouse members work together with adult and peer level
mentors on creative, self-directed projects, such as:
• Digital story telling
• Robotics and engineering
• 3D design, game-making
• Digital art, video and music production
• Web Design
• Logo programming

IMPACT
Research conducted by SRI International shows
that the Computer Clubhouse learning model both
globally and here in NZ, promotes educational
engagement, social/cultural capital and a multi-
intelligence approach to learning:
•Youth that are engaged learners stay in SRI Youth Impact Study Computer Clubhouse
school. Research indicates benefits for MAY 2008
both the long term labour force (Creative
Arts/ ICT) and the social development of
the individual and wider community
•Nations like NZ have an equal footing in
the digital market place for creating 21st
Century thinkers. The Computer
Clubhouse’s proven learning model is
doing just that.
