Digital Harmonies bridges the digital divide by teaching essential digital skills to low-income, first-generation individuals, fostering education, job access, and community engagement.

Comment

Inspiration: Being from Alabama, the digital divide is all around me. Whether it be people my age or my grandmother, access to the Internet in the rural South is a huge problem. Luckily, I attend a school where we have devices and can explore the study of Computer Science easily. Because of this opportunity I have, I wanted to extend this opportunity to other people my age by helping teach essential digital skills, whether it be Search Engine basics, Web conferencing, email basics, AI usage, etc.
