TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
Main goal of the program
The
goal of the Technology Program is to provide our youth, ages 6 to 18
years old, with access to computer technology in order to improve
their academic progress at school and to foster their social and
cultural enrichment, all of which should increase their job
potential in the future and close the digital divide.
All the activities
in the program are under the “FROM MY PERSPECTIVE” proposal, which
encourages the acquisition of computer skills as a tool for
self-expression and self-development.
