The Wired for Youth Center at the Carver Branch was the first award recipient from Noggin. Noggin is
an educational network on TV and online that encourages kids to be active participants in the process of
learning. "We recognize the importance of working with like-spirited organizations to improve the
resources available to children. This commitment to social responsibility and educational outreach is
demonstrated by our charitable giving initiative," says Sharon Yeung, from the NOGGIN group. The
Noggin Charitable Giving Initiative awards grants to organizations that foster innovative, kid-driven
learning. The Wired for Youth Center at Carver received a $1,250 grant from Noggin and will use the
award money to buy equipment for the WFY Center. The grant money will be used to buy a color printer,
digital camera, and two CDR-RW drives (CD ROM burner), says Michele Gorman, WFY Librarian. This
equipment will allow the kids to show their advanced work learned in the Center to teachers and parents.
Many thanks to Alan Watts for recommending and referring the grant to the WFY Center at Carver.
Watts is a local animator, artist and programmer. He launched 16 Color, the Internet's first movie
machine, and has held classes at several of the WFY Centers. For information on Austin Public Library's Wired for Youth programs visit www.wiredforyouth.com. For information on NOGGIN TV visit www.noggin.com.
