"This donation will not only foster the development of computational skills in students but will also provide them with valuable tools to face the challenges of everyday life." We recently had the pleasure of partnering with FEE - Fundación para la Equidad Educativa to support their work with schools across rural Colombia. The devices we donated have now been installed in several schools, helping to enrich classes, support digital learning and provide access to new resources.
