Description
World Computer Exchange (WCE) provides professional development consulting to nonprofit and government partners to develop sustainable plans to network, maintain, and connect these computers in local schools. WCE leverages the resources of businesses, strategic allies, volunteers, and youth community service programs to provide its partners with the equipment, software, consulting, sister-schools, and content that they need. WCE helps them succeed in preparing their schools, teachers, and students to use the Internet as a bridge to information, resources, educational materials, and opportunities.
