The Pioneers Association is pleased to announce the release of the organization’s new signature education project, Project:Connect, after two years of development. Project:Connect combines education with the popularity of video games. Students are challenged to learn lessons in technology by playing games featuring a product or service of the telecommunications industry. Project:Connect targets 4th through 7th graders and is available at no charge to schools, community centers and other organizations. The project is fully funded by the Pioneers Association. The seven games are: E-Mail:Connect, Compression:Connect, Fiber Optic:Connect, Cable:Connect, Satellite:Connect, Cellular:Connect, and VoIP:Connect. “We’re pleased to offer youngsters this fun and educational program,” said Marty Lee, president of TelecomPioneers. “with Project:Connect, the principles behind modern telecommunications are at their fingertips.”
