A concerted effort was made to ensure that Camp T-Equity participants had access to state-of-the-art resources, including:
Numerous classroom computer workstations were connected to the school building's local area network; this network, in turn is connected to the Internet. Approximately six stand-alone, non-networked computers were also available.
To provide students with broader Internet experience, a PC-based server was set up in the classroom running the Linux operating system (a freely-available Unix look-alike). Every camp participant had--and still has--an account on this server. Using these accounts, students were able to send and receive Internet e-mail, as well as create their own home pages on the Internet's World Wide Web.
