Tech Access to the Underrepresented
summary
Shows a concrete path from idea to results: donated corporate desktops to a church becomes a hands‑on curriculum after the first attempt flops and tactile hardware lessons increase engagement. Argues companies should fund bootcamp scholarships + intentional hiring to diversify pipelines, treats internet as a basic utility and evaluates mesh/balloon/satellite options skeptically, and proposes subsidized devices (chromebooks with 5G) as a pilot. Offers practical steps, costs, and lessons learned rather than abstract exhortation.
