We’re working to address barriers to digital inclusion.
Right now, millions of students here in the U.S. are lacking the connectivity, technology and skills required for success in today’s digital economy. That’s why we’ve been working to help foster digital inclusion through a transformative education program called Verizon Innovative Learning. It’s a key part of our goal to help move the world forward for all through our Citizen Verizon plan.
A new way of learning in school or at home.
All children should have access to technology and quality STEM education. Through Verizon Innovative Learning, we turn belief into action by helping students achieve, learn, and create more with free internet access, free devices, and innovative next-gen technology-infused lessons.
Making a difference.
We work hand in hand with nonprofit partners, education and technology experts to build and administer STEM-focused programs that create the kinds of transformations that change lives.
Expanding our commitment to education.
Expanding our commitment to education. This school year Verizon Innovative Learning is expanding to 264 new Title I middle and high schools across the country, for a total of 511 schools. In addition, as educators prepare for the 2021–2022 academic year, they will have a remarkable new resource at their disposal: Verizon Innovative Learning HQ, an online education portal that offers lesson plans, credentialed professional development, and next-gen learning for all, to help ensure no student is left behind. The initiative supports Verizon’s digital inclusion goal to help provide digital skills training to 10 million youth by 2030.
Inspiring students with tech innovations.
We’re bringing 5G technology to select schools nationwide through our innovative learning labs where our students and teachers are at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. Things like virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, and more immersive collaboration can turn lesson plans into living, breathing, dynamic experiences.
Making progress.
