About this program

This initiative includes our Family Learning Workshop program, our Adult Digital Literacy program, and our STEM Pipeline Programming.

In both our Family Learning Workshop and our Adult Digital Literacy programs, participants attend a workshop that provides a myriad of technical skills, from setting up the computer and logging on to the internet, to using basic computer software, to understanding how to use technology to increase financial wellness, to completing certifications to bolster work readiness.

Our Family Learning Workshop program and our STEM Pipeline Programing work to support k-12 education by providing the technology and training to bridge the digital divide for underserved families and by exposing students in these under-resourced areas to an insight into careers in technology. Our Adult Digital Literacy program recognizes that adults who aren't digitally literate are at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a job and navigating life.

Inspiredu's Adult Digital Literacy program aims to assist adult learners who are seeking to add digital literacy to their career toolboxes.

Inspiredu's Family Learning Program increases parents' capacity to support their 21st century learner. Through either school workshops, community-based workshops, or virtual training, Inspiredu provides families with a free Laptop Home Learning Center preloaded with digital resources, as well as the training to use this technology to bridge the digital divide so often seen in underserved communities. The devices become the family's property, and we provide technical support for one year following the workshop.
