Computer Programs in 13 U.s. Cities

Today at the National Educational Computing Conference, Knowledge Adventure(R), a world leader in educational software, announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger's Inner-City Games(R) summer computer programs have officially commenced.

ICG Chairman Schwarzenegger and national ICG computer program sponsor Knowledge Adventure kicked off the summer computer programs on May 9 with a special event at Marshall Middle School in Houston, Texas. There, Schwarzenegger thanked Knowledge Adventure for making more than 70 computer programs possible at Inner-City Games sites, including middle schools, boys and girls clubs and youth centers, in the following locations: Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, San Jose and South Florida.

"The summer computer programs would not exist without the tremendous support of Knowledge Adventure," said Harley Frankel, Executive Director of the Inner-City Games Foundation. "They have worked with us step-by-step to bring top-notch technology into the hands of our inner-city kids, providing the opportunity to develop computer and academic skills in an engaging and interactive manner."

"By sponsoring these important computer programs in places where children need them the most, it is our goal that the more than 100,000 kids who participate in Inner-City Games will not only acquire computer and academic knowledge this summer, but also develop a love of learning that will carry them throughout their academic careers and into a profession of their choice," said Martha Connellan, the Knowledge Adventure School Group's Senior Vice President and General Manager. "Knowledge Adventure has made a deep investment in the futures of inner-city children nationwide and we take great pride in that."

Knowledge Adventure has supported Inner-City Games since 1998, when it established the first three ICG computer programs. The programs enable inner-city students to learn computer skills while enhancing their academic skills with Knowledge Adventure's educational software after-school and in the summer.

Throughout the year, children will participate in the ICG computer programs using the latest software titles from Knowledge Adventure, including its highly acclaimed HyperStudio(R), SiteCentral(TM), Blaster Learning Series(TM), JumpStart Learning System(TM) and the Real World Series(TM) titles.

Currently, the ICG is in 13 U.S. cities involving more than 100,000 young people.
