PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. (OTCBB: PCSV), a leading provider of K-16
programs that focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM), today announced the signing of a Memo of
Understanding with Sage International Charter School, located in
Boise.
PCS will provide Sage with a premier STEM laboratory in exchange
for providing PCS with the ability to offer hands-on learning
classes during afterschool, evening, weekend, and summer hours.
"This is an exciting partnership for PCS," said Robert Grover,
CEO of PCS Edventures. PCS conducted market test activities in 2011
at Sage that enabled both parties to evaluate the partnership. PCS
began afterschool courses in February and continues to expand the
program.
Don Keller, Principal of Sage International, said, "Sage
believes the path to a 21st century education is through
partnerships with organizations and industry, and this partnership
is an excellent match. Our technology education program has been
significantly enriched through the addition of the PCS materials,
and parent response to the afterschool and camp offerings has been
overwhelming with classes filling very quickly."
PCS launched a domestic learning center initiative at the
beginning of 2012 and plans to partner with entities such as Sage
International to provide facility and market access in exchange for
STEM program materials and support. Globally, PCS develops Learning
Center partners, the first International licensee being Kindle
Experiential Learning in India. Their first learning center in
Hyderabad, India opened in February. Their website can be visited

"Learning Centers are a solid marketing strategy for PCS in the
current domestic educational landscape," said Robert Grover.
"School budgets continue to shrink but this approach allows us to
create a relationship that is a win-win-win for schools, students,
parents, and PCS. It enables us to take our extensive library of
STEM related products and content and create a rich learning
environment that benefits everyone."
PCS recruited Brett Newbold as an operational advisor to the
executive management team to assist with improving efficiencies.
Mr. Newbold has extensive executive management experience having
served the role of CEO, COO, and CTO in both domestic and
international companies. Mr. Newbold served as a direct report to
Larry Ellison (Oracle, ORCL) for eight years as a Vice President of
R&D managing market and technology initiatives. "I'm thrilled
to be part of this company," said Mr. Newbold.
