AT&T has opened a Connected Learning Center in Deerfield Beach, the first of its kind in Broward County. The center is a partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs, according to a post from the City of Deerfield Beach.
AT&T is contributing $50,000 to the center and providing high-speed AT&T Fiber internet. The company is also equipping the space with Dell computers so students have devices they may not otherwise have at home.
Students can use the center for homework and for exploring new subjects. AT&T also is providing access to The Achievery, its free online educational platform, which offers learning content and activities for students.
The center will also offer digital literacy training to help young people and families learn to use the internet safely, responsibly and with confidence. AT&T said it has opened more than 100 Connected Learning Centers nationwide since launching the initiative in 2021. The company has committed $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected to affordable high-speed internet by 2030.
