Intel believes all students,
everywhere, deserve to have
the tools they need to
become the next generation
of innovators. From local
schools to global
universities, Intel works to
help improve the quality of
education around the world.
The
Intel Teach Program
helps teachers understand
how, when and where to bring
technology tools and
resources into their
classrooms. The Program has
trained teachers in 13
countries in Asia Pacific
and benefited more than 2.63
million teachers, with
290,000 trained in 2008.
The
Intel Learn Program
is
a community-based effort in
which under-served youth
aged 8-16 learn technology,
critical thinking, and
collaboration skills using
an engaging,
project-centered approach.
This program has helped more
than half a million children
globally, with 75,000
students participating in
Asia Pacific in 2008.
The
Intel Computer Clubhouse
Network
is
a community-based
after-school education
program. Individual Computer
Clubhouses are hosted by
community organizations and
funded by Intel and other
partners aimed at helping
ensure that poor and
disadvantaged children have
a safe place to go to after
school where they can also
learn how to use
cutting-edge technology. In
Asia Pacific, there are
seven Clubhouses in
Australia, India, New
Zealand, the Philippines and
Taiwan.
The
Intel Higher Education
Program
is
a collaborative worldwide
effort – working with more
than 150 universities and
governments in 34 countries
– that not only brings
cutting-edge technology
expertise to universities,
but also helps move that
technology from university
labs to local communities
through research grants,
technology entrepreneurship
forums, and mentoring by
Intel technologists. In Asia
Pacific, Intel collaborates
with top universities in
China, India, Japan,
Malaysia, Philippines and
Taiwan to engage in focused
research and encourage
student participation in
research throughout their
education, especially in the
areas of multi-core
curriculum.
For more than a decade Intel
has sponsored the world’s
largest science fair, the
annual
Intel International Science
and Engineering Fair
(Intel ISEF). In 2008, Intel
ISEF brought together more
than 1,500 young scientists
from over 51 countries,
regions and territories to
compete for more than $4
million in awards and
scholarships. In Asia
Pacific, 82 students
participated in 2008, with
53 winning awards totaling
US$104,600.
