The
Wings Learning Center website was designed and built by this
team of students at San Francisco State University through
the Multimedia Studies Program. The Web Design Intensive is
an immersive, professional training program lasting 20 weeks.
Wings
Learning Center was partnered with Team Wings through the
efforts of TeamTech San Francisco. TeamTech is a collaborative
effort between Americorps, the United Way, and the IBM Corporation.
Its mission is to assist local nonprofit agencies in the effective
use of information technology, thereby increasing the impact
of each agency's work in the communities that they serve.
Participants in Americorps work though the local United Way
and its affiliates to identify community-based service agencies
and to provide them with information technology resources.
TeamTech
provides the Web Design Intensive students with a pre-screened
group of non-profits, of which, the students select and develop
a web site for as their final project. "Team Wings"
felt strongly about the mission of Wings Learning Center and
thus the match was made.
Funding for technology is provided by the IBM Corporation.The
Macromedia Corporation made a donation of software that will
be used by Wings Learning Center to maintain and update this
website.
