We fill a unique void, as we are the state’s only nonprofit focusing specifically on opportunities to use technology as part of a child’s learning support system while also addressing the challenges of digital literacy, access, and inclusion in Atlanta’s highest need communities. We address these specific challenges in three distinct ways by providing:
- A home computer with wrap-around programming—including educational software, training, and technical support which could help families create more robust learning environments at home.
- Opportunities to support the STEM pipeline by helping students build skills and explore careers in technology
- Digital literacy courses for the most vulnerable parents, caregivers, and community members of the schools we serve
Our investment in empowering our learners to be confident with technology has made us an asset to organizations in developing both their STEM curriculum and Family Engagement programs.
