Microsofts School
(US) A couple of days ago in Philidephia, Microsoft, in partnership with School District of Philadelphia opened its School of the Future.
3 years in the making, the high-tech building has digital lockers, smart card entry, laptops not books and interactive 'smart-boards' with the inaugral class being made up of 170 low-income teens.
Mary Cullinane, from Microsoft said:
We have a vested interest because we need to hire the kids who are graduating, and we want to make sure we have created a blueprint that other folks will be able to use.
