Best Buy Children's Foundation, a longtime
supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs, joined forces in 2007 with
Microsoft and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to equip millions of
America's youth with vital skills and experiences to
successfully compete academically through Club Tech. Club Tech,
a national program created by Boys & Girls Club of America and
Microsoft, makes technology, software and training accessible in
Clubs and provides Club staff and members with the skills needed
for the 21st century workforce.
Club Tech teaches youth essential digital
literacy skills through fun, interactive programs. Club members
are encouraged to apply these skills to create original digital
media such as Web sites, music, movies and photography as part
of Club Tech's Annual Digital Arts Festivals. Thanks to Best Buy
Children's Foundation and Microsoft, Club members learn how to
use computer technology in everyday life to develop new social
and economic opportunities for themselves, their families and
communities.
