TECHNOLOGY

The primary goal of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s technology program is to enable members to become “fluent” in the use of technology. Our Clubs are members of The Clubhouse Network, a program of the Museum of Science, Boston with support from the MIT Media Laboratory. Technology also is incorporated in the Clubs’ libraries, recreation areas, and education centers. Club staff encourage young people to work alone or in groups as designers, inventors, and creators.
