The program works to alleviate connectivity barriers and support educator professional development.
Investments so far include:
- Distribution of hot spots to students all across NC.
- Creation of accessible park & learn sites.
- Professional development for educators in the form of four remote learning conferences (REAL, REAL 2.0, STEM Connect, & Cultural Arts LIVE)
