| Project Connect | |
 |
The
Pioneers Association is pleased to announce the
release of the organization's new signature education
project, Project:Connect, after two years of development.
Project:Connect combines education with the popularity of
video games. Students are challenged to learn lessons in
technology by playing games featuring a product or service of
the telecommunications industry. Project:Connect targets 4th through 7th graders and is
available at no charge to schools, community centers and other
organizations. The project is fully funded by the
Pioneers Association. The seven games are: E-Mail:Connect, Compression:Connect, Fiber Optic:Connect, Cable:Connect, Satellite:Connect, Cellular:Connect, and VoIP:Connect. “We're pleased to offer youngsters this fun and educational program,” said Marty Lee, president of TelecomPioneers. “with Project:Connect, the principles behind modern telecommunications are at their fingertips.” |
