Tech Corps Wisconsin,
Inc. is pleased to announce the latest effort in its continued support
of children in the state and specifically within the Southeast Wisconsin
area with the announcement of a project for Burlington's Dyer Intermediate
School.
"We are helping the school with this project by supplying fifty-seven
complete donated computer systems and five laser printers refurbished
by our group, to be placed into one computer lab, two mini labs and
nineteen classrooms. We will also network wire the computer lab,"
said Michael Pitsch--State Coordinator for Tech Corps Wisconsin, Inc.
December 29, is the target date for the installation of the computers
at the former Burlington Middle School now being used as a fifth and
sixth grade intermediate school.
The computers will be used for word processing, teaching keyboarding, Internet research and for other curricular purposes. The classroom computers and the computer lab will be connected to the Internet, via recently installed district network wiring and equipment.
This project is a
continued experiment in re-defining how education is delivered to
our children, wherever they are, to better prepare them to meet the
challenges of their futures. The collaborative nature of the project
includes a number of public and private businesses throughout SE Wisconsin
who provided the donations and the volunteers who are completing the
work.
"We are pleased to have been asked to participate in this venture
to help make a difference in the futures of our children," said Pitsch.
