Describe the challenge you want to address:
Every family with children in school, as well as seniors, low-income individuals, and people with disabilities, deserve access to a computer or tablet. In today’s digital age, essential tasks such as paying bills, managing medications, scheduling doctor appointments, and completing homework are all conducted online.
What is the solution to the challenge?
To empower everyone, we should require a computer or tablet class—available in multiple languages—before providing the device. This will ensure that everyone can confidently navigate the digital world.
