Since 2004, Intel enlisted the participation the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International*, an independent, nonprofit research institute to evaluate the effect of Computer Clubhouse* participation on youth members, particularly on their socioemotional attitudes, academic attitudes, and technology use.

Here are some key findings:

• The Computer Clubhouse helps youth develop 21st-century skills, find pathways to success, and build a commitment to community service.
• Youth who are more involved in the Clubhouse report greater competency in problem-solving, collaboration and use of technology tools.
• 76% of active Clubhouse members plan to continue their education after high school—this against a backdrop of disturbing high school drop-out rates and low college participation for under-served youth.
• Clubhouse activities provide a wealth of opportunities for youth to establish constructive dialogue, represent information and ideas effectively, and express themselves with clarity and nuance.

Findings based on 2003-2008 research conducted by SRI International, an independent, nonprofit research institute.
