"A reliable connection to the internet is more important now than ever before," Duane Barnes, vice president and general manager of RapidScale, said during the grand opening of a new Innovation Lab for the Boys and Girls Club of Wake County in Raleigh, NC, on Tuesday.
The cloud service provider, a subsidiary of Cox Communications, donated $20,000 to help build the lab, which includes computers, iPads, a Smart TV, cameras, engineering kits, and more, the News & Observer reports.
The lab is part of the Boys & Girls Club's Club Tech program, which provides students with access to computer literacy curriculum to advance their computer literacy skills.
The Innovation Labs are the cornerstone of the program, which also provides students with access to curriculum to advance their computer literacy skills.
"It provides our kids with the state-of-the-art technology with which to explore and learn, which is not only fun for our kids but is vital to helping them succeed academically and build great careers and futures," Ralph Capps, president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club serving Wake County, said in a press release.
The RapidScale Innovation Lab is one of five new Innovation Labs created by the James M. Cox Foundation as part of a $150,000 gift to the Boys and Girls
