The Fitzroy Computer Clubhouse is a project of the Fitzroy Learning Network & is the first and currently only of its kind in Australia. The Fitzroy Computer Clubhouse is part of a global Computer Clubhouse Network that spans over 100 Computer Clubhouses across the globe. We have 120 members at the Clubhouse from 17 different countries and numerous cultural backgrounds. The Clubhouse operates 5 nights a week after school.
As a member of the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network, members have access to a fantastic IT and design learning model and global networks through the Computer Clubhouse Network intranet. Members also have the opportunity to apply for scholarships and participate in a biennial Teen Summit with members from the world wide clubhouse community in Boston, USA.
Established in 1993 by The Computer Museum (now part of the Museum of Science, Boston) in collaboration with the MIT Media Laboratory, the Computer Clubhouse helps youth acquire the tools necessary for personal and professional success.
