This project will build on our research team’s previous experience and success in two areas: the development of innovative programming environments for youth, and development of innovative informal-learning centers for inner-city youth. Our team’s research on “programmable bricks” has been commercialized as LEGO MindStorms, used by millions of youth around the world. Members of our research team co-founded the Computer Clubhouse project, a network of afterschool learning centers for youth from economically-disadvantaged communities. The Clubhouse network has expanded to 75 sites in 14 countries, with 20,000 youth members, and it received the prestigious Peter Drucker Award for Nonprofit Innovation.
