After-School Computer Clubhouses and At-Risk Teens
Girod, Mark; Martineau, Joseph; Zhao, Yong
American Secondary Education, v32 n3 p63-76 Sum 2004
KLICK! (Kids Learning In Computer Clubhouses!), a federally funded, after school, computer clubhouse operating in Michigan, is investigated as a means for supporting positive, engaging, and innovative after school activities for teens. A quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test survey suggests that participating in KLICK! is differentially effective for teens with initially low value for school and low GPA on outcomes of school value and technology expertise. Implications for this finding on similar after school programs are discussed.
