Case Study:  The Institute for Community Empowerment (ICE)
(View Press Release)

 “CCQ is ideally suited to our program” said Arlon Kennedy , Executive Director of the program.  “Our program teaches children to be skilled with computers by using the computer as a teaching tool.  CCQ gives our computers the ability to talk to each child and act as a tutor with extensive curriculum based content and the great part is that the children really enjoy working with CCQ.  Having a talking computer makes it very user friendly and for the kids, it’s like being on a TV game show or playing an interactive video game.  They have fun with CCQ and we know it is going to help them be better prepared for state required testing (FCAT).”

The Institute for Community Empowerment (ICE) is a program unit of the Koinonia Community Development Corporation, Inc.  ICE opened an independently operated community technology center in 1998.  In 2000 the ICE Cube Program became associated with both the national and Florida Governor’s Office sponsored PowerUp programs.  The project targets children from 4^th through 12^th Grades.  They have made CCQ a cornerstone tool in their “academically accountable” after-school and summer camp programs.

The Institute of Community Empowerment is working to identify additional locations and organizations interested in working with them to replicate their Fort Lauderdale program.  The Cool C Quiz is one of the key tools being utilized to provide curriculum based structure for ICE in support of the education of the children in the program.  For more information on the ICE project, visit www.TheIceCube.com.  ICE is actively seeking corporate sponsors and contributions to assist them in expanding their operations.  Contact Arlon Kennedy at arlonk@hotmail.com or (954) 415-1357 for further information.
