The Computer Clubhouse* program is a major effort to provide "digital opportunities" to those who otherwise might not have them. Each community-based organization that is selected to host a Computer Clubhouse is chosen, in part, because of its ability to provide services to youth in underserved communities.

The Computer Clubhouse program was created in 1993 by the MIT Media Lab and the Computer Museum, now part of the Museum of Science, Boston. In 1997, the program was awarded the prestigious Peter F. Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation for making a difference in the lives of the people it serves, having measurable outcomes, and providing an innovative model that could be replicated by others. In 2000, Intel initiated a partnership with the Museum of Science, the MIT Media Lab, industry partners, and nonprofit organizations to support the establishment of Computer Clubhouses in underserved neighborhoods around the world.
