as an accessory to classroom learning, and travel to preschools, day care
centers, elementary classrooms, and scouts.

HighTech Teens
High Tech Teens is an
opportunity for young people to earn a previously utilized computer.
Through partnerships with Market Scan Information Systems and Middle Bucks
Institute of Technology, we are able to award previously utilized computers
to worthy applicants.
To earn a computer, these teens must research the cultural background of their
family, provide twenty hours of help in the Children's Cultural Center office,
OR propose an independent project. Recipients are encouraged to make a
contribution toward the continuation of the program.
Each application is critiqued by a
distinguished panel of Bucks County business people.
