Before the Club Tech Teen Innovation Grant, we were running with outdated monitors that were donated to us years ago. There was no such thing as “High Definition” -- it was more like “No Definition.”
After receiving the Club Tech Teen Innovation Grant, we are running with the latest technology. We have 1080p LCD screens and custom Xbox security cases to protect our Kodu Stations. Not to mention wireless controllers! OH, YEAH! Not only have we implemented the Kodu program, we have also installed new hardware to run it on.
