Through our partnership with Human-I-T, we proudly distributed over 100 Chromebooks to families enrolled in our Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP) to help bridge the digital divide in Central Texas. Alongside device distribution, families received one-on-one guidance on basic device use, including connecting to Wi-Fi and accessing personal email. We also shared resources on accessing safe educational websites provided by @austinpbs empowering families with the tools and knowledge they need to support their children’s learning journey.
