CLOSED: Enter to Win a Digital Device!
Posted on: May 20, 2020
CONTEST FOR KIDS & TEENS
This contest is now closed.
CADL has committed to helping bridge the digital divide locally by giving away a selection of devices. 34 devices were given away total, including iPads, Chromebooks and other tech gear!
What is the digital divide?
Today’s internet provides a wealth of information, education and opportunity to those who can access it. But sometimes access is limited by the services available in a geographic area, or by a lack of personal technology (computer, tablet, smartphone) needed to use it.
The term “digital divide” refers to this gap between groups of people who can easily find and use online resources, and those who can’t.
This year especially, kids and teens are facing unique learning challenges that require them to use digital devices for their education.
To be entered to win one of the items, kids and teens who completed the Summer Reading Challenge told us how it would impact their learning or creative interests. They could write or draw your answer, or do a combination of both.
