Visit Our ShopThe homework gap is real
The "homework gap" describes the difficulty students face completing assignments without access to a device or internet at home. In Oregon alone, 75,000 students lack a personal computer for schoolwork.
When we put a computer in a student's hands, we're not just giving them a device—we're giving them the ability to do their homework, apply for jobs, connect with family, and participate fully in our digital world.
