Designed especially for young learners, the Intel Learn Program extends learning beyond the classroom with an engaging,
project-centered approach. Intel Learn is an informal education program that teaches youth the skills they need to
succeed in our increasingly knowledge-based economy, with a focus on technology literacy, problem-solving,
critical thinking, and teamwork.
The program implemented in Egypt by IT-Blocks in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Youth
and NGOs to train 30,000 students a year on this program; our goal is to ensure the effective use of technology
in learners between the ages of 8 and 25.
120,000+ learners are becoming computer literate and more collaborative in all governorates.
There is a significant improvement in students projects ideas, especially after the revolution
of January 25 to improve their societies. Learners are using skills gained from the Intel
Learn Program to help their direct communities through innovating Ideas to develop the neglected
places in their communities; like (research presented by students in Fayoum Governorate to convert the
neglected public restroom in the city to Charity Clinic Based on the current needs of the community).
Also, we noticed that Learners are learning the program skills to their school colleagues to using
the program methodology in the official school lessons.
