How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Device Ownership for Educational Equity
    methodology: device-ownership-for-equity
    By providing students with ownership of their own computers, we reduce educational inequality and level the playing field in access to digital resources, because personal device ownership enables consistent, unrestricted access to learning tools and the internet—critical for academic success in digital environments.
