The Figgers Foundation continues to lead efforts that promote digital access and educational opportunity through its growing Innovation Program — a classroom-based initiative designed to introduce students to foundational technology skills in a hands-on and engaging way.

At the heart of the program is a commitment to equity. Each student is provided with their own tablet device, giving them direct access to digital tools that many of their peers may take for granted. Beyond the hardware, the program emphasizes guided learning, encouraging students to interact with technology through structured activities that build confidence, creativity, and problem-solving.

The Innovation Program serves as a critical step toward bridging the digital divide. While many students today are surrounded by smart devices, access alone doesn’t guarantee understanding. The Figgers Foundation aims to close that gap by offering real-time support and mentorship that helps young learners grow both their technical skills and self-belief.

Designed to be scalable and community-centered, the program reinforces the Foundation’s broader mission: to provide underserved populations with resources that lead to long-term opportunity. Whether it’s in the form of a tablet, a scholarship, or one-on-one encouragement, the work is rooted in creating pathways for success.

By investing in students early and intentionally, the Innovation Program is helping to shape a future where every young person, regardless of background, is empowered to participate fully in a digital world.
