Rockets star Russell Westbrook is purchasing 650 laptop computers to help better facilitate online learning for children in Houston.
. However, in what's become known as the"digital divide," many students and their families do not have the home infrastructure or technology to immediately make the transition."I'm extremely excited to be able to collaborate with Comp-U-Dopt and find ways to be able to impact the youth immediately," Westbrook said Monday at a press conference with Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
According to Comp-U-Dopt, which has distributed nearly 1,000 computers to Houston families through its ongoing program, 83% of recipients are living in households earning less than $35,000 annually. The organization describes itself as a nonprofit providing technology access and education to under-served youth in the Houston and Galveston area.
