IESC is a volunteer program started in 2009 where teams of 5-7 Intel employees are sent around the world to developing nations (and those recovering from natural disasters) to deploy technology and educational services. It’s a highly competitive program, with over 600 alumni donating time in more than 25 countries. Michael recently lead a team to Nepal that partnered with an NGO called Hands in Outreach to deploy laptops and the Waterford Early Learning software at three schools in the Kathmandu area. He gives a first-hand overview of the team’s trip. To learn more about Intel Employee Service Corps, visit: www.intel.com/foundation.
