The Need
Only about one-third of Washington 8th graders score "Proficient" or better on national math and science tests. That number falls below 25% for children of color. Technology Access Foundation believes that all students are natural learners, but without a strong educational foundation and a belief that learning can be fun, many students fall behind by 8th grade. Early interventions that provide access to educational opportunities and technology tools help children develop knowledge, confidence, and life skills to increase graduation rates and encourage them to seek higher educational opportunities.
