Racine, WI
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 Racine's Jerstad-Agerholm
Middle School.
"We are helping the school with this project by supplying thirty-five
complete donated computer systems and a laser printer refurbished
by our volunteers for a computer lab. These units will replace computers
previously supplied by our group a few years ago, and is a demonstration
of the long-term relationships we establish with our project schools
to not only place computers, but to replace them when they become
outdated," said Michael Pitsch--State Coordinator for Tech Corps
Wisconsin, Inc. November 24 is the target date for the installation
of the computers and is the first of four projects planned for Racine
Middle Schools.
The computers will be used primarily for teaching keyboarding, but also for word processing, Internet research and for other curricular purposes. These computer lab computers will be connected to the Internet, via newly 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.
