Technology Center
In 1994, the Hayward Adult Education
School determined that there was a strong need for a computer center to provide
computer education and access to underserved Hayward residents.
The Hayward Rotary Club had been
looking for a very special project to undertake, in celebration of the club's 75th
anniversary. It had considered the idea of a computer educational center, but the
project seemed to be beyond the capabilities of the club.
But Nels Nelson got the school
district and Rotary to partner, and together they were able to create an expanded
project.
The computer center was originally
intended to benefit adults seeking education and training on computers. Rotary's
strong interest in youth issues caused the scope of the project to be broadened
to serve the interests of young people as well. Ed Avelar extended the design of
the center which is now known as the Hayward Community Technology Center.
