The Belfast Computer Clubhouse is a creative, multimedia, learning environment where young people can explore their own creative interests and become confident learners through the use of technology.

The Computer Clubhouse offers a vibrant environment with state-of-the-art computers and a variety of software and technological tools for use on projects in the visual arts, film, robotics, music animation, web and graphic design. It is a project targeted at encouraging the creative potential of young people aged 8 - 18 in the West Belfast and Greater Shankill areas.

Although the Belfast Computer Clubhouse is the first in the UK, Computer Clubhouses have been launched all over the world. In 2008, the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network opened the 104th Clubhouse in Argentina. It is part of a worldwide effort begun by the Boston Museum of Science and the MIT Media Lab in the USA. The Computer Clubhouse Learning Model has gained recognition among international educators and community leaders.
