Learning Spark Initiative

Our Learning Spark Initiative brings the technology, the training, and the learners together and we meet them where they are in their digital literacy.

 

 
 

Family Learning

Our Family Learning program increases parents’ capacity to support their 21st century learners. Through school and community-based partnerships, Inspiredu facilitates interactive workshops that leverage technology to improve family engagement while also helping families learn strategies to become strong learning partners and responsibly access and utilize digital tools for learning. 

During our “Family Learning Workshop”, families are provided with a free Laptop Home Learning Center preloaded with valuable software and digital resources. The devices become the family’s property, and we provide technical support for one year. 

Inspiredu supports our school and community partners by taking care of outreach, handling all workshop logistics, and delivering the workshop curriculum.  Our staff works collaboratively with partner leadership to customize training to align with district-wide and school-wide digital learning initiatives. “


STEM Exposure

Our STEM Pipeline Programming supports the educational pathway for students in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Our STEM Exposure Initiative aims to engage students with corporate professionals from Atlanta’s robust technology hub and learn about potential careers in STEM fields. Corporate partners host a full-day field trip to showcase their industry and spark interest in STEM careers. Our field trips have included trips to Google, NCR Global Headquarters, SAP, GE, Dell, and MailChimp.

As our partnerships continue to grow, so does our STEM Initiative. Our other exposure efforts include technology deconstruction and coding project opportunities with partners such as Microsoft and CGI.”


Adult Digital Literacy

Knowing how to use a computer is increasingly important in our world. Adults who aren’t digitally literate are at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a job and navigating life. Inspiredu's Adult Digital Literacy program aims to impact adult learners who are seeking to add digital literacy to their career toolboxes. 

Using our Family Learning Workshop model, we partner with Community Based Organizations to offer a digital literacy class for cohorts of upwards of 30 adult learners. Throughout the workshop, participants learn essential computer and software skills as well as how to use technology in everyday life.”

Our partnerships with corporations such as Synovus, Truist and Delta Community Credit Union have allowed us to offer joint financial and digital literacy workshops. Learners are given practical skills to strengthen their debt management, budgeting, and saving skills.
