PCS Edventures! Announces Continued 21st CCLC Market Penetration

PCS Edventures! (OTC BB: PCSV) today announced
continued success in penetrating the 21st Century Community Learning Center
market. The 21st CCLC Program is a key component of President Bush's No
Child Left Behind Act. It is an opportunity for students and their
families to continue to learn new technology skills and discover new
abilities after the school day has ended. Congress has appropriated $991.07
million for after-school programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2005.
One of only a few select vendors to attend, PCS representatives were
invited to display and work with 21st Century Grantees at the recent 21st
CCLC 2005 National Summer Institute in Chicago. "The 21st Century market
has been an excellent fit for PCS," said Tony Maher, Chairman, President
and CEO of PCS Edventures!, who also attended the Summer Institute. "The
focus of the 21st CCLC program is to provide expanded academic enrichment
opportunities in areas such as math, literacy, and technology education --
all of which are strongly embedded within our products."
"We have already included this component in one of our 21st CCLC programs
and it has been a huge success. The students love it and the teachers are
really pleased with the program," said Linda Austin, 21st CCLC program
director from Little Rock. Additional sales from 21st Century sites in
West Virginia, Michigan, Florida, Idaho, Texas, Illinois, New York and
other states continue to expand the PCS penetration of the 21st Century
marketplace in the United States with several new, large installations
deploying in September of 2005.
