Default IBM Launches Nationwide Initiative to Support Early Education in Hispanic Communities

Under a $2 million initiative, IBM is donating 1,000 Young Explorer™ computer centers to preschool and early childhood programs in areas with populations of 40 percent or more Hispanic as part of the IBM KidSmart Early Learning program. The program includes teacher training and curriculum targeting children between the ages of 4 to 7 years old. The grant is part of an overall effort by IBM to support education within the Hispanic community, the fastest growing part of the U.S. population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Latino children are more likely to drop out of high school than any other ethnic group in the U.S. Furthermore, Latinos are significantly underrepresented in technical and engineering professions according to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering.
