Intel believes in the value of education and implements a wide variety of education programs that promote math, science, engineering and technology in Colorado schools. These programs assist in developing the workforce of the future and promoting educational opportunities among females and minorities.
These programs include:
Intel® Teach Program
The Intel® Teach Program is a worldwide effort that is designed to help teachers integrate technology into their classrooms to enhance student learning. More information.
The Intel Teach Program has trained more than 4,000 teachers in Colorado—exceeding the goal! Intel in Colorado also held the first training for deaf teachers who work with students at the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind in Colorado Springs.
Computer Clubhouse
The Intel Computer Clubhouse is a successful and replicable model that uses technology creatively to enable underserved youth to acquire the tools, problem solving skills, and confidence necessary for successful lives. More information.
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF)
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre–college science competition that provides an opportunity for the world's best young scientists to come together to share ideas, showcase cutting-edge science projects, and compete for over USD 3 million in awards and scholarships. More information.
In 2001, Intel in Colorado was proud to call a 2001 ISEF grand prize winner one of our own. Ryan Patterson of Grand Junction took top honors in the 2001 competition with his winning invention, a glove laced with computer sensors that are able to decipher sign language. The glove sensors relay signals to a customized computer program, that Ryan also designed, and those signals are then translated and displayed on a hand held display.
Intel Science Talent Search
The Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) is the United States' oldest and most prestigious science competition for U.S. high school seniors. More information.
Intel Involved Matching Grant Program
Through the Intel Involved Matching Grants Program (IIMGP), Intel Corporation encourages its employees to volunteer in local schools by matching volunteer hours with cash grants. Intel will match employee volunteer hours at a school with a USD 10 per hour grant to the school (after a minimum of 20 hours accumulated). The total volunteer hours accumulated by Intel employees during the school year determine the total annual grant for the school—with no maximum cap on what a school can receive.
Higher education
To keep pace with the worldwide demand for semiconductors, Intel works with area high schools and community colleges through the Workforce Development Program.
Intel supports programs in the colleges through development of course materials, donation of laboratory equipment, faculty training sessions, and financial aid. By combining a specially developed curriculum with faculty and student development, Intel and the community colleges have formed a cohesive relationship between technology, placement, and staffing.
