BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- PCS Edventures! (OTCBB:PCSV) announced today it has sold 19 of its Academy of Engineering, Jr. Labs into middle schools in the Detroit Public School After-School System. This order for $305,000 marks the largest single order for this particular lab unit since it was introduced two years ago.
Bill Albert, PCS National Sales Manager, said, "We are pleased with every order we get, but are especially pleased with one of this magnitude, since it represents a very solid endorsement of our AOE, Jr. lab from one of the premier after-school engineering programs in the U.S. This program is on the radar of every after-school vendor in the U.S. and the fact that they chose us speaks volumes about the quality of our labs."
Betty Halliburton, Program Supervisor of the Detroit Public Schools After-School Program, said, "During our evaluation of various after-school products, it was readily apparent that the hands-on approach with PCS Edventures! Learning Labs not only met, but exceeded the specifications we had set out. The PCS offering of curriculum and assessment compliments our goal of making math, science, and technology enjoyable and memorable to students. With the Detroit area having such a strong engineering focus, the Academy of Engineering, Jr. will fit in perfectly. PCS is definitely a step ahead with their hands-on products and we aren't aware of any other educational vendor even close to narrowing that gap."
