OUR IMPACT
Addressing the digital divide
Closing the digital divide is crucial in the current digital age. The digital economy is rapidly growing, and there is a high demand for tech literacy and skills. Without access to digital literacy education, underserved communities will be left behind, further widening the gaps of disparity.
issues in Minnesota and neighboring states
The need for tech education is growing globally, but states like Minnesota rank dead last in the country for computer science/tech classes offered in high schools. The national average sits at 58% and Minnesota's neighbors Iowa (71%) and Wisconsin (66%) are markedly higher than that.
28%
In Minnesota, only 28 percent of schools offer these essential programs
12%
Of those, 12 percent are urban schools
