Close the Gap
This project seeks to close the equity gap of students that do not have access to technology after school. Our schools have a surprising number of students that do not have Internet access or computer access at home. The Close the Gap project seeks to remedy this equity access problem by making available a laptop computer and Internet access for those students.
