Faye Singh, program leader for Youth and Manpower Development at Fort Valley State, says the KnowledgeBase curriculum will readily fit in with the academic campS her campus sponsors each summer. Several hundred kids ranging in age from 5 to 17 spend two-week and summer-long sessions at the historically Black university, according to Singh.

According to Singh, students, who primarily come from disadvantaged and Black rural communities, have gotten minimal computer exposure in past summers. But now, she says, KnowledgeBase provides a well-defined curriculum.
