There is also a Tech2Students initiative, providing laptops to disadvantaged students. Thousands of students don't have access to a laptop at home. The campaign was developed in April 2020 by Trinity Access and Camara Ireland in response to the digital divide experienced by students in need. Covid 19 showed that the digital divide is real and remains a huge problem for second-level students, those in direct provision and adult learners in marginalised communities. 58% of students in DEIS schools experience a lack of access to broadband or a suitable learning device.
In Phase 2, NUI Galway, the NUIG Access Centre, the Galway City Partnership, the Galway Chamber of Commerce and the Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, NUI Galway have joined the campaign to go nationwide. The national goal is to deliver 5,000 devices to students in need all over Ireland. 100% of funding donated to the campaign is being used to buy refurbished devices.
