Pilot Project to Address the Homework Gap through Sustainable, Community-based Systems

Vision: K-12 students and their families have the tools needed to succeed in a digitally connected world both today and in the future.

Develop a robust, sustainable device ecosystem in each of the 10 cities. The project will create lasting pathways to large-screen device ownership for underserved K-12 students and their communities to address the homework gap.

Outcome: Creation of a sustainable, community-based system to advance device ownership in 10 major metropolitan cities that combines existing and new resources in a sustainable network so that city residents have reliable access to free and low-cost computers as well as associated support services. Evaluate the effectiveness and desired outcomes to ensure the system is replicable. Expand to other metropolitan and rural regions as guided by our research, our Technology Gap Map™, funding sources, and other measures of program effectiveness.
