2 What is it? A technology education program Target audience Youth ages 8-25 years Youth ages 8-25 years Little or no computer skills Little or no computer skills Underserved communities Underserved communities Developing countries Developing countries Learning objectives Development of 21 st Century Learning Skills Technology literacy Technology literacy Critical thinking Critical thinking Collaboration/teamwork Collaboration/teamwork Designed in collaboration with government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) Intel® Learn Program

3 3 Intel provides: Engaging learner curriculum Senior Trainer to facilitate a “train-the-trainer” for staff Program management and evaluation expertise Government or NGO provides: Community-based technology centers or school labs Staff to be teachers/facilitators How Does It Work?

4 Implemented in fifteen countries: Argentina Israel Brazil Malaysia Chile Mexico China Palestine Colombia Russia Dom. Rep. Turkey Egypt Ukraine India Where Are We Today? More than 1.4 million young learners have completed the Intel® Learn Program

5 Intel ® Learn: Curriculum Youth learn by exploring computer applications through thematic activities that they undertake with fellow learners. Three curriculum units, each with it’s own theme: Intel® Learn: Technology and Community Learners discover how the effective use of computers can help improve communities. Introduces learners to technology skills such as word processing, graphics, spreadsheets, multimedia, and Internet research. (Target ages 8-16) Intel® Learn: Technology at Work Learners discover how computers are used in a variety of jobs and careers. Learners use increasingly sophisticated and complex software tools. (Target ages 13-18) Intel® Learn: Technology and Entrepreneurship Learners are introduced to basic concepts and process of entrepreneurship, and how technology can be used to advance a business idea. Using Internet tools and office applications, learners research and formulate a business idea, and create and present a business plan for their idea. (Target ages 14-25)

6 Course Structure In each section of course:Exploration Learners are introduced to and explore a new technology area Plan It Learners plan their team activity or project. Do It Learners use a technology application to create their project. Review It Learners do an assessment of their project, make appropriate improvements. Share It Teams share what they have created with other learners; receive feedback. For their culminating project, each team: Selects a community issue of their chosing Researches and analyzes the topic Prepares a presentation on their findings and recommendations Showcases their project to parents, teachers, and community leaders Showcases their project to parents, teachers, and community leaders

7 Intel ® Learn: Impact Evaluation Intel Aprender Chile Case Study Report Prepared for the Intel Corporation Prepared by Denise Sauerteig and Vera Michalchik, with Isabel Obrien Center for Technology in Learning, SRI International 333 Ravenswood Ave. Menlo Park, CA 94025 June 2010

8 Intel ® Learn: Impact Evaluation Executive Summary (Excerpts) We visited programs across the country, including those in the cities and towns of Santiago, Quintero, La Serena, Vicuña, Puerto Montt, Talca, and surrounding localities. We met with program facilitators and learners of varied backgrounds and ages, representatives of the Ministry of Education, and school, community, and university partners responsible for the implementation and support of the program. SRI's case study of the impact of Intel Learn in Chile found, most importantly, that: 1.The program has been adapted to fit a wide variety of social needs and niches. 2. The program has been transformative across contexts not just at the level of individual learning, but also at the level of community impact. These two findings are highly interrelated. As the program has met the needs of populations ranging from elementary children in school, to university faculty, to adults with minimal education, it has also promoted collective changes in pedagogical vision, community action, and social development. We encountered these types of effects multiple times among the various sites we visited.

9 Intel ® Learn: Impact Evaluation Executive Summary (Excerpts) Youth programming with Intel Learn in Chile has been far-reaching and impacted children’s lives by: Empowering them to take on new challenges using digital tools and systematic approaches to create useful products with the tools Providing them with distinct and meaningful connections to people and groups with resources to offer. Adult programming of Intel Learn in Chile has had dramatic impacts on the lives of participants. Adults benefit from new experiences with the kinds of changes they can effect when they have the proper tools, support, and structure; they also benefit from the connections and new community bonds that they form. Adults we spoke with were committed to using their Intel Learn experiences for: Developing personal tools for microenterprises and other practical benefits Enacting social change in their communities and better addressing the needs of their families.

10 Intel ® Learn: Impact Evaluation Executive Summary (Excerpts) Impacts of the Intel Learn course extend to facilitators, as well, many of whom experienced profound personal changes as a result of their participation in the course. Our findings indicate that, because of the program, facilitators for Intel Learn in Chile become: Deeply engaged in providing service to the greater community Experienced in both learning and teaching with nontraditional pedagogy. The program is supporting community change by: Promoting gains in human capital that readily translate into new capacities and improvements in the community Instilling appreciation of and interest in community service Benefiting from the combined effects of the participation of many people from the same community in capacity-building experiences. Supporting connections to networks of helpful people, useful organizations, and valuable information Creating linkages across communities and organizations, helping them grow and succeed Contributing to the infrastructure for modernizing Chile in the digital age, thereby creating powerful societal impacts.

11 Examples of Community Projects Intel® Learn Technology and Community Nanjing, China Modifying city garbage trucks to reduce spills, pollution Rosemala, India Recommendation for bus transportation to secondary school in neighboring community, reducing dropouts Kiryat Mal’akhi, Israel Water conservation campaign resulting in 50% water savings Mazahua, Mexico Reforestation plan to restore habitat for monarch butterflies Samara Region, Russia Created and received funding for plan to rebuild bridge that was in disrepair; restored link between two halves of village
