IBM Grant Funds Computer Ed At Camp Fire Century

December 16, 2010

The Camp Fire USA Century Youth Leaning Center received a new computer and a “cool” kid’s computer desk thanks to a grant from IBM.

The Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County received the 2010 IBM KidSmart Early Learning Program Grant and distributed five new computers and Little Tikes furniture to early learning sites that serve low-income children.

The computers have educational software to help children learn math, language and science.

The recipients were Campfire USA Century Youth Learning Center, Alice Williams Day Care, Faith Christian Academy, Englewood Baptist Church Pre­school and Family Ties Child Development.
