Digital Literacy and Equity
The Tri-Cities community has a growing need to address the digital literacy gap. With over 50% of Hispanic households without a desktop or laptop, it was important for us to create a product that could help individuals obtain the knowledge needed to build digital literacy programs. To achieve this, we partnered with Yekaterina Yefimova, a Ph.D. candidate at the iSchool, to develop a site with an interactive map that displays local infrastructures, a data insights page, and a sustainable resource page. By implementing these features, we aim to contribute to the addition of digital literacy programs in the Tri-Cities.
