Racine, WI (October 2002 to June 2003)
The PC’s For Families project is directed at reducing the “digital divide” in Racine County. The “digital divide” describes the gap between people who have access to technology and those who don’t. PC’s For Families will strike at the heart of this “divide” by placing personal computer systems into the homes of qualifying families. Placing refurbished computers into the homes of families who don’t have the financial means to purchase a computer will not only enhance the children’s education but it will also allow the parents to become part of the “electronic world.” In addition to providing the families with “new” technology, they will receive basic computer skills training and technical support for the computer systems.
Through a joint arrangement with Racine Unified School District's, 21st Century Learning after-school program and Next Generation Now daycare, this new Tech Partners program will will involve 300 qualifying families receiving computer systems, Internet access and training.
