In our continued effort to bridge the digital divide and even the playing field through technology access, ADE has given students of Miami access to information at their finger tips by donating 200 computers to Miami Northwestern High School , Maya Angelou Elementary School and Overtown Youth Center during Super Bowl XLIV week.

Each school received 50 Hewlett Packard Compaq DC5750 computers complete with Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Athlon 64 X2 3800, 2.0GHz Processor, 1GB Memory, 80GB Hard Drive, DVD-ROM Media Drive, DVI-VGA Video Card, Microsoft XP and virus protection. Additionally, Overtown Youth Center received 100 computers to distribute to students and their families who participate in the after school program.

With the current state of the economy and educational budget cuts felt statewide, the students from Miami Northwestern, Maya Angelou Elementary and the Overtown Youth Center needed these computers more than ever to aid in keeping up with new technological advancements. Thanks to the ADE, these students have the chance to remain competitive and have access to information and opportunities from all over the world.
