The partnership aims to bridge the digitaldivide in Pittsburg by offering parents refurbished computers free of charge. If it’s free to play with, and easy to learn about through communities working to improve the open source code, the assumption is that more people (and younger people) will start to get interested in working with AI.
However, challenges such as the digitaldivide and the need for robust cybersecurity measures must be addressed to ensure equitable access and a secure learning environment.

A secondary argument is that there is a large amount of content on the web that is spurious, deceiving or inaccurate, and that user generated sites such as Wikipedia and blogs undermine the authority of professionals and academics. A persistent digitaldivide exists between the industrialised world and emerging countries.
Technology tools for teaching and learning encompass a diverse array of digital resources designed to enhance educational experiences. Ranging from interactive software and multimedia platforms to online collaboration tools, these innovations empower educators to create dynamic, engaging lessons.
However, there still exists a digitaldivide to conquer. Kent’s success in today’s digital world is, in part, reliant on electronic resources and timely, effective communications. Our laptop initiative provides the hardware and software for secondary students to complete homework assignments and collaborate digitally.
Here’s what they had to say: Text-based AI interfaces provide an opportunity to help close the digitaldivide…and avoid an impending AI divide. This may include moving to a digital records management system that is FERPA and CJIS compliant such as what we have done with Scribbles Software.
