A New Intel® Computer Clubhouse

Published Thu, 2006-05-25 15:11 Intel Corporation

Intel Corporation and Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) are celebrating the opening of a new Intel® Computer Clubhouse, a unique after-school learning center for youth ages 10 to 18. The clubhouse is located at the John H. Harland Club in the city’s southwest area.

Computer Clubhouse members learn by doing. Youth can create digital artwork, produce their own music CDs, film, write and edit short movies and design Web sites. Most come to the Clubhouse knowing little about technology, and leave with the skills and self-confidence to succeed in today’s technology-driven society.

“We are pleased that Intel Corporation chose to locate its newest Computer Clubhouse at one of our Boys & Girls Clubs,” said Jerry Tipton, president, BGCMA. “We know the Intel Computer Clubhouse model works and are impressed by its track record of success. The Clubhouse is a great addition to current programming at the Harland Boys & Girls Club.

Digital Communications Advances Demands on digital communications are increasing at an exponential rate. The need for innovative advances in this area means research on optical and electrical properties of CdS thin films are of interest. It is already known that CdS thin films show promise in conversion of energy applications such as for photovoltaic devices and sensors but they may also be suited for other applications. These applications include the use of CdS films for building analog multipliers or amplitude modulators.
