Keena Jackson • July 2, 2022
We are proud to announce that CODE313 was selected as one of seventeen new sites to serve our community as a Technology Hub!!
Congratulations are in order to our Executive Director, Bartel Welch who joined Rocket Mortgage Classic today for their annual Media Day at the Detroit Golf Club where this announcement was made publicly.
This grant funding for the "Changing the Course" initiative come from the Connect 313 Fund, a collaborative effort of the tournament, the title sponsor, the City of Detroit, Microsoft and the United Way of Southeastern Michigan.
This funding will ensure furnished access to computers, high speed internet, digital literacy programming capabilities and other essential technology tools. They will also provide critical in-person technology support and guidance.
Soon residents throughout the city of Detroit will be able to access computers, high-speed internet and digital literacy programming. These additional neighborhood tech hubs will help even more Detroiters connect to education and employment opportunities, unleash their potential and grow community.”
On behalf of Code313 we would like to give a big thank you to Rocket Mortgage Classic and all of their partners for making this goal a reality.
Detroit — The Rocket Mortgage Classic's goal of ending Detroit's digital divide by 2025 is taking a major step forward, with the announcement Monday morning that 17 additional technology hubs will open in the city by the end of this year.
At least one new hub will open in each of the city's seven City Council districts, and include access to computers, high-speed internet and digital literacy programming.
This latest initiative will bring the total technology hubs to 22 since the "Changing the Course" initiative was launched in 2020, early in the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Detroit was the least-connected big city in the country. Now, 67.5% of residents are connected, with that number to grow by year's end.
