Since 2004, Intel has enlisted the participation of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International, an independent non-profit research institute, to evaluate the effects of Computer Clubhouse participation on youth members, particularly their socio-emotional 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.
• Seventy-six percent 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 underserved 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.
