The makeover will be documented in a five-part Web series that will follow the effort from contestant submissions through to the final reveal.

Very cool news! This initiative where NBC.com and Microsoft team up for “My School Pride” shows how corporate partnerships can directly benefit schools. With a brand new Windows 7 powered computer lab on the line—coupled with a five-part web series documenting the entire makeover journey—this project highlights how technology can transform educational environments.
Such initiatives not only provide modern equipment to under-resourced schools but also boost community pride and encourage innovative approaches to learning. It’ll be interesting to see the real-world impacts on student engagement and the lasting influence of a modern computer lab in a school setting.
What are your thoughts on technology making its way into schools like this? Do you feel that these types of projects can have a lasting impact on education, or are there challenges that could minimize their potential benefits?
