Computer clubhouse:

Founded in 1993 in collaboration with MIT media laboratory, computer clubhouse is a project of Boston museum of science. This project uses technology to eliminate the ‘digital divide’ by providing work for the underprivileged youth. This project became a worldwide model in 2000 for ‘Intel’ computer clubhouse network. There are 100s of computer clubhouses around the globe where millions of youth work with their mentors to produce computer-generated art, music, animations, video, scientific simulations, kinetic sculptures, robots, and web pages. The youth enhance their skills by learning new technologies thereby increasing their future prospects of leading successful lives. Author’s advice: If you are a student, you can pursue an internship here to gain hands-on experience while you learn.
